Directions: Use appropriate strategies to solve the problem below. Provide illustration of the problem and show your solution to come up with the correct answer 1. A ladder 15 m long is placed on the ground in such a way that it touches the top of a vertical wall 14 m high. Find the distance of the foot of the ladder from the bottom of the wall. 2. A 35-foot ladder is leaning against the side of a building and is positioned such that the base of the ladder is 21 feet from the base of the building. How far above the ground is the point where the ladder touches the building?
