Answer 2

lmao @geerky42 @samanthasilva what is the rest of the question.?

Answer 3

From the problem description, when the painter releases the ladder, it will fall to the ground.

Answer 4

a^2+b^2=c^2
a=16, c=20
256+b^2=400
b^2=144
b=12' dist of ladder from wall.

Answer 5

base=12ft,
height=16ft
ladder=20ft

b^2=c^2-a^2
b^2=20^2-12^2
b^2=400-144
b^2=256
b=sq rt of 256 =16ft (height)
