A 10 -foot ladder is leaning on a tree. The bottom of the ladder on the ground at a distance of 6 feet from the base of the tree. The base of the tree and the ground form a right angle as shown. What is the distance, in feet, between the ground and the top of the ladder?

x=8,-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as  

x 2 + 6 2 = 10 2 . x2+62=102

Raise  

6

to the power of  

2 .x2+36 =102

Raise  

10

to the power of  

2 .x2+36=100

Move all terms not containing  

x

to the right side of the equation.

Subtract  

36

from both sides of the equation.

x 2 = 100 − 36  Subtract  36 from 100

x 2 = 64

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.
