Yesenia has a 13 ft ladder that she placed against a wall. How far up the wall will the ladder reach when the
base of the ladder is 5 ft from the wall?

12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using formula (pythagorean theorem)

a² + b² = c²

Where :

13 = c

and 5 = a

5² + b² = 13²

25 + b² = 169

169 - 25 = b²

144 = b²

Sq root b = 12

It will reach up 12 ft.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
