HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A 15-foot ladder rests against a wall. The base of the ladder is 8 feet from the wall.

How far is the top of the ladder from the ground?

Enter your answer in the box. Round to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

you would need to use the pythagorean theorum which is would be 8 squared +x squared = 15 squared
mergl
15^2=8^2+x^2
225=64+x^2
161=x^2
x=12.68857754
x=12.7
