PLS HELP NEED IN 10 MINUTES!!!!!! I WILL MARK YOU THE BRAINLIEST IF YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION
Martin has a window with a

ledge that is four feet off the ground, and he

grows flowers on this ledge. Martín is much too

busy to take care of the flowers, so he hired a

magic little elf to water the flowers for him. The

elf is very, very small and cannot reach the

flowers on his own. Martín left a five-foot tall

ladder out for the elf to use. How far would the

magic elf have to place the ladder from the house

in order to reach the window ledge?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 feet

Explanation:

hypotenuse = ladder = 5 feet

perpendicular = ledge = 3 feet

Base = distance between the foot of the ladder and the house

h² =  p² + b²

5² = 4² + b²

b² = 25 - 16

b² = 9

b = 3

the distance between the foot of the laddar and the house should be 3 feet

Hope this answer heelps you
