To the nearest foot, how much farther up the building does the ladder now reach?

    Well if the ladder is moved 4 feet closer to the building then that should mean that it moves 4 feet higher. because the ladder is 8 feet from the base of the building you just do

    8 + 4 = 12

    so it's 12 feet ... ?

    hope this was right on not sure ...
