Apainter leans a 20-ft ladder against a building. the base of the ladder is 12 ft from the building. to the nearest foot, how high on the building does the ladder reach?

23 feet

16 feet

8 feet

32 feet

also can ya'll do the questions in the photos

For the main question, it's basically just the Pythagorean's Theorem, 400-144= 256, square root of 256 is 16, so it reaches 16 feet up the building.
For Picture 1: Another Pythagorean's Theorem question, since the two angles are both 45 degrees, then LM and KM are the same. They are both 5, so they both square to 25, added together 50. So we do square root of 50, and then you can change it to square root of 25 * square root of 2. And then you can change it to 5 * square root of 2.
Picture 2: isn't it the exact same?
