The base of a ladder is 10 feet from the side of a building. The top of the ladder reaches a window that is 24 feet above the ground, What is the length of the ladder? A. 14 ft B. 22 ft C. 26 ft D. 34 ft​

Actually Welcome to the concept of Pythagorus theorem,

here, the perpendicular height = 24 ft and the base = 10ft ,

hence then length of the ladder is the Hypotenuse.

so we get as,

hence, l = 26 ft

so the length of the ladder is 26 feets.

step-by-step explanation:

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
