A building meets the ground at a right angle. The top of a 10-foot ladder is placed against the bottom edge of a window in the building, and the base of the ladder is placed 6 feet from where the building meets the ground.

The ground is 8 feet from the bottom edge of the window

We start by representing the building, the ladder and the ground in a sketch.

See attachment for diagram

From the diagram, the distance (d) from ground to the bottom edge of the window is calculated using Pythagoras theorem:

10^2 = d^2 + 6^2

Evaluate the squares

100 = d^2 + 36

Evaluate the like terms

d^2 = 64

Take the square root of both sides

d = 8

Hence, the ground is 8 feet from the bottom edge of the window
