A ladder is 25 ft long. The ladder needs to reach to a window that is 24 ft above the ground. How far away from the building should the bottom of the ladder be placed?
We have a right triangle, where the ladder is the hypotenuse, and the window side is one side.
Using our right triangle and the pythagorean theorem calculator, we get a length of 7 ft for the ladder bottom from the wall.
