A ladder is leaning against a building. Find the height at which the ladder is touching the building

Answer:
13.9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is a right triangle we can use pythagoreom theorm.
16^2=8^2+a^2 (a is the unknown side)
256= 64+a^2
192= a^2
Square root both sides and you get around 13.9 ft
