Answer:
The distance is 6m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Length of Ladder = 10m
Helight of Wall and Window = 8m
So, they form a right angle triangle.
By Pythagoras Theorem,
(Base)^2 = (Hypotenuse)^2 - (Length)^2
(Base)^2 = 10^2 - 8^2
(Base)^2 = 100 - 64
Base = √36
Base 6
Therefore, as the base is equal to the distance, so the answer is 6m.
