Hello! :)

To solve for the distance from the building, we can use the Pythagorean theorem where:
c = length of ladder (Hypotenuse)
a = height of window
b = distance from building
Plug in the given values into the equation c² = a² + b²
60² = 47² + b²
Simplify:
3600 = 2209 + b²
Subtract both sides by 2209:
1391 = b²
Square root both sides:
b = √1391 ≈37.296. The correct answer is C.
