Tom is afraid of heights above 9 feet. He is asked to repair a side of a high deck. The bottom of the ladder must be placed 6 feet from a deck. The ladder is 10 feet long. How far above the ground does the ladder touch the deck? Is Tom afraid of the height?

Step-by-step explanation:

The height on the side of the deck (h) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. It tells you ...

  6^2 + h^2 = 10^2

  h = √(10^2 -6^2) = √64 = 8

The ladder touches the deck 8 feet above the ground. Tom is not afraid of that height.

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
