Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that AB is the ladder, B is the window and CB is the building. Then, triangle ABC is a right triangle with right-angle at C.
By pythagoras theoram, we have
∴ AB2=AC2+BC2
⇒ 252=AC2+202
⇒ AC2=625−400=225
⇒ AC=225m=15m
Hence, the foot of the ladder is at a distance 15m from the building.
