anonymous · Answer

so 2x = 132  or 2x is the hypothensus

anonymous · Answer

x = 66 because you divide both sides by 2
and that is also the shorter leg x

anonymous · Answer

so 66 is the height of the house?

anonymous · Answer

Now I know x I can get the longer leg (or height of the building) by 
$$66 \times \sqrt{3}$$

anonymous · Answer

66 is the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the house
