TTriangle 1 and triangle 2 are similar right triangles formed from a ladder leaning against a building.


Triangle 1 Triangle 2
The distance, along the ground, from the bottom of the ladder to the building is 12 feet. The distance from the bottom of the building to the point where the ladder is touching the building is 16 feet. The distance, along the ground, from the bottom of the ladder to the building is 9 feet. The distance from the bottom of the building to the point where the ladder is touching the building is unknown.
