Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are Given that

  • We have a 34 foot ladder leaning against a 30 foot building
  • We are asked to find the distance of the bottom ladder from bottom of the building.

A ladder leaning against a object makes the ladder slanted so that means 34 is our hypotense.

The building height And distance of the bottom of ladder and building is our legs so our formula we use is

[tex] {30}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {34}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]900 + {x}^{2} = 1156[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} = 256[/tex]

[tex]x = 16[/tex]
