A12-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. the bottom of the ladder is 5 feet away from the bottom of the wall.

approximately how high up the wall does the top of the ladder reach?

a.
2.4 feet

b.
7.0 feet

c.
13.0 feet

d.
10.9 feet
i think b not i'm not 100% sure plz me and would u plz explain how u got the answer u : )

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.

answer: 40392

step-by-step explanation:

10098 x 4 = 40392
