Sammy has a 10-foot ladder, which he needs to climb to reach the roof of his house. the roof is 12 feet above the ground. the base of the ladder must be at least 1.5 feet from the base of the house. how far is it from the top of the ladder to the edge of the roof? draw a sketch.

Using the Pythagorean theorum we can solve this v a^2+b^2= c^2. A is the distance from base of house to ladder A= 1.5, c ifls length of ladder, c= 10. (1.5)^2 + ;b^2 = (10)^2. Solve for b. B= 9.88. 12 foot height of house - 9.88 feet to top of angled ladder = 2.11 from top of ladder to edge of roof
