A 6 m ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 1.7 m from the wall at time t=0 sec and slides away from the wall at a rate of 0.3 m/s. Find the velocity of the top of the ladder at time t=2 (take the direction upwards as positive).

Follow-up Question
Hello, could you please try this question again, the answer is not 0.088. The feedback said:
"Notice that the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall and the height of the top of the ladder from the floor are functions of time. Use the Pythagorean Theorum X^2+h^2=a^2. Then Differnetiate both sides of thius equation with respect to T. The velocity of the ladder at time T=2 is dh/dt.
