Your friend has locked themselves out of the house, and they need your to get back in. they have a 10 foot long ladder, and there is an open window height feet above the ground. how far from the wall of should you hold the ladder while they climb back in?
a. w = 2 feet
b. w = 12.8 feet
c. w = 9.6 feet
d. w = 6 feet

6 feet

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

l = 10

h = 8

w = ?

Formula

l^2 = h^2 + w^2

Solution

10^2 = 8^2 + w^2

100 = 64 + w^2

100 - 64 = 64 - 64 + w^2

w^2 = 36

sqrt(w^2) = sqrt(36)

w = 6 feet.

i don't know, but that looks pretty bad. my school passed us unless we failed in all the subjects, but idk abt ur school's rules.
