Error :- A ladder instead of *full address*
So the question says :-
A ladder is 25 m long and is placed against a wall reaching at the top. The distance between foot of wall and ladder is 15m, we have to find the height of the building.
(Refer the attachment for figure)
Since, a wall is perpendicular to ground, we will apply Pythagoras Theorem.
The ladder will act as hypotenuse, hence
height² + base² = hypotenuse²
=> h² + 15² = 25²
=> h² = 25² - 15²
=> h² = 625 - 225
=> h² = 400
=> h = √400
=> h = 20m
Hence, the height of the building is 20 m

H² + B² = Hypotenuse²
H² + (15)² = (25)²
H² = (25)² - (15)²
H² = 625 - 225
H² = 400
H = 20m
