A painter leans a ladder up against a wall. The ladder is 25 feet long and the wall is 15 feet high. How far from the wall is the base of the ladder?

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder is 12 feet up the wall.

The ladder forms a right triangle with the wall and the ground. You want to use Pythagorean theorem to solve the problem. a2+b2 = c2

Use the Pythagorean Theorem (a2+b2=c2) where b=9 and c=15. Solve for a.

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

i can you with this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c
