C Programming "Functions"

(See Fig. 5.1) A student is trapped in a room of a burning building. How long should a ladder be in order for a fireman to reach him through the window located at the 4th floor? The window is 8 ft high and the ladder's base must be 6 ft from the edge of the building since there is an obstruction. Make a program to compute the ladder length. Hint: Use pow(x,y) and sqrt(x) functions to apply Pythagorean's Theorem of Fig. 5.2 Hypotenuse (H) 8 ft Opposite (O) Angle 90 Adiacent (A) 6 ft Fig. 5.1 Ladder Fig. 5.2 Pythagorean Theorem: H² = A? + O?
