6. Maurice is cleaning out the rain gutters
on his house. To get to the gutters, he
places a 24 ft ladder against the house so
that the top of the ladder reaches the
bottom of the gutters. He places the
bottom of the ladder so that it is 7 ft from
the house. Draw a right triangle to
illustrate this situation. Approximately
how high off the ground are the gutters?
