Answer:

d. 8 feet

Explanation:

(height)^2 = (10)^2 - (6)^2

= 100 - 36

height = √64

= 8 feet

The height of the ladder above the ground that touches the wall of the house will be 8 feet, i.e., option d.

What is the height?

The measurement of someone or something from head to foot or from base to top is referred to as height.

To calculate the height,

[tex]Height^2=100-36[/tex]

[tex]Height^2=64[/tex]

[tex]Height=\sqrt{64}[/tex]

[tex]Height=8feet[/tex]

Thus, the height will be 8 feet, i.e., option d.
