Part two ! u sm to whoever knows how to do ❤️

We can Notice from the Diagram that : The Length of the Ladder and The Length of the Base of the Ladder from the Base of the Building and The Height of the Building form a Right Angled Triangle

Where : Length of the Ladder is the Hypotenuse

Now, Based on the Pythagorean Theorem :

⇒ (Length of the Ladder)² = 12² + 35²

⇒ (Length of the Ladder)² = 144 + 1225

⇒ (Length of the Ladder)² = 1369

⇒ (Length of the Ladder)² = 37²

⇒ Length of the Ladder = 37 feet

Given : Alex Drives Pennsylvania by Driving 400 Miles South and 300 Miles West

Total Distance he traveled in this way : (400 + 300) = 700 Miles

Now We can Notice that : The Shortest Distance will be, The Hypotenuse of the Right Angled Triangle Formed with Sides as 400 Miles South and 300 Miles West.

Based on Pythagorean Theorem :

⇒ (Shortest Distance)² = 400² + 300²

⇒ (Shortest Distance)² = 1600 + 900

⇒ (Shortest Distance)² = 2500

⇒ (Shortest Distance)² = 500²

⇒ Shortest Distance = 500

Distance Shorter if he Travels in this Way : (700 - 500) = 200 Miles
