7. A 15-foot ladder is leaning against a building. The vertical distance from the ground to the top of the ladder is 10 feet. Which is closest to x, the horizontal distance between the
base of the ladder and the building?
A. 17 feet
B. 23 feet
C. 11 feet
D. Not here

d 25 pi/6

step-by-step explanation:

the diameter is 10 inches

the radius is 1/2 of the diameter or 5 inches

the area of the circle is

a = pi r^2

  = pi 5^2

  = 25 pi

the slice is 60 degrees of the entire circle.

60 degrees out of 360   60/360 = 1/6

the area of the slice is 1/6 of the circle

a slice = 1/6 a circle

a slice = 1/6 * 25 pi
