Answer 1

Explanation:

This ladder situation creates a triangle, with a hypotenuse of 20, and a base of 12. To solve this, use the Pythagorean theorem,
`a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2)`, which in this problem is
`a^(2) +12^(2) =20^(2)`. Square the numbers to get
`a+144=400` or
`400-144=a`, and a = 256. The square root of 256 is 16, which completes the equation.

Answer:

The ladder will reach the window that is 14.5 feet high, because it is 16 feet tall.

Yes, because the ladder will reach 16 feet high
