Aladder is leaning against a building so that the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder is 22 feetfeet 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 1010 feet.

So basically the ladder is creating a right triangle with the ground and the wall. Ladder is the hypotenuse (h), building = b, ground = g
b = h - 22 ft
g = 1010 ft
use Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of h:

The h^2 terms cancel out to = 0

The answer would be -6 because -5+1 =-4 then once you divide it by 2 you get -2 then you do the next part 3-7 because since it’s in those lines that means you get rid of the negative so you would get -4 so the equation should look like this by now -2-4 then solve and you get -6 hope this helped :)
