A ladder that is 14 feet long is placed against a building. The bottom of the ladder is 6 feet from the base of the building. A right triangle with side length 6 feet, hypotenuse 14 feet, and side h. In feet, how high up the side of the building is the top of the ladder? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

The ladder is approximately 12.65 feet high on the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ladder forms a right triangle with the building, we can apply Pythagora's theorem to calculate the last side, this is done below:

The ladder is approximately 12.65 feet high on the building.
