What is the length of the ladder? It is 6 ft. from the house at the bottom and touches the wall 14 ft. up at the top. Simplify your answer

Answer:
15.2
[tex] {c }^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} \: \\ {c}^{2} ={6}^{2} + {14}^{2} \\ {c}^{2} = 36 + 196 \\ {c}^{2} = 232 \\ \sqrt{c } = \sqrt{232} \\ c = 15.23154621[/tex]
