Answer:
5 feet is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The two ladder will form Right angled triangle.
Length of ladder will be the hypotenuse.
Third side of Right angled triangle having sides 37ft and 35ft
= √37² - 35²= √(37+35)(37-35) = √72*2=√144=12ft
Third side of Right angled triangle having sides 25ft and 24ft
=√25²-24²= √(25+24)(25-24) =√49*1 = √49 = 7ft
Distance between foot of ladder = 12-7 =5ft
