Solve the problem: a ladder that is 17 feet long is 8 feet from the base of a wall. how far up the wall does the ladder reach?

For this case we can solve the problem by using the Pythagorean theorem.

We know:

1) Length of the ladder representing the hypotenuse

2) Length from the wall to the base of the ladder, which represents the base of the triangle.

We want to know:

1) The height of the triangle that represents the height of the wall that the ladder reaches.

We have then:

The ladder reaches a height of 15 feet.

answer: the answer is c.
