Answer:
At 19.14 feet the top of the ladder meet the house.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
A large ladder leans against a house with the base of the ladder 5.8 horizontal feet from the base of the house.
Slope of the ladder, m = 3.3 feet/foot
We need to find at what height does the top of the ladder meet the house. Let it is h.
Base, b = 5.8 feet
It will form a right angle triangle
Slope=h/base
h = slope × base
h = 3.3 × 5.8
h = 19.14 feet
So, at 19.14 feet the top of the ladder meet the house.
