Answer:

Think of the ladder; it's bases' distance from the building, and the wall of the building like a right triangle. We already know that the hypotenuse (length of ladder) is 52.9 feet. And the bottom leg is 5 feet (length from building). This means we have to figure out the other leg to see how high the ladder will go.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 5^2 = 52.9^2

A = 52.66 feet.

So yes, the ladder will reach the hospital window.
