A ladder is leaning against a building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder is 9 feet less than the length of the ladder. Find the length of the ladder if the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is 21 feet

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98
