Hello, I could REALLY use someone's help with the following question:
A ladder 13 meter long is leaning against the outside wall of a house. The base (bottom of the
ladder is being pulled away from the wall at a rate of 3 meters/second. Determine how fast the top of the
ladder is moving down the wall when its base is 5 meters from the house, to one decimal place.

PLEASE HELP ME!!
