Answer:
There is not finite answer to this question as there is no indication of whether the top of the ladder is exactly 24 feet from the ground. The decimal position would approach infinity (tenths, hundredths, thousandths,etc…..)
Step-by-step explanation:
everyone is assuming a triangle. In that case Pythagorean Theorem would work. If the 26 foot ladder is standing straight up against the side of the building, then there is no triangle-just a straight line. The 26 foot ladder would still reach the 24 foot mark. In the case of a straight line the Pythagorean Theorem would not apply and the answer would be 0 which in this case would be undefined as there is no definition of an imaginary number which in this case zero is. Any number along the vertical axis is imaginary. See the writings of Euler, Gauss, and Cauchy respectively for clarification.
