a 16-foot ladder is leaning against a wall.if the base of the ladder is 4 feet away from the base of the wall, how far up the wall will the ladder reach? ( ANSWER TO BE BRAINIEST)  is anybody here good at pythogrom therome because if you are then answer this question

Respuesta :

4^2 + b^2 = 16^2

16+ b^2 = 256

subtract 256 - 16

b^2 = 240

b= 15.49
Area is bxh which is base times height so if the base is 4 therefore the height has to be 4 to equal 16 or this question won't make sense long story short this equation is 4 times 4 = 16
