Answer: 15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a diving board is 10 feet above a pool. Since the ladder is 5 feet away from the base of the diving board, to calculate how tall is the ladder is, we subtract -5 from 10. This will be:
= 10 - (-5)
= 10 + 5
= 15 feet
The answer is option C.
