If you place a 34-foot ladder against the top of a building and the bottom of the ladder is 25 feet from the bottom of the building, how tall is the building? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Respuesta :

Answer:

23.0 ft to nearest 1./0.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras:

34^2 = h^2 + 25^2      where h = the height of the building

h^2 = 34^2 - 25^2 = 531

h = 23.04 ft.

The answer is 23.0 ft
