Answer:

About 11.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem

a squared + b squared= c squared

5^2+ 10^2= c^2

25+100=c^2

125=c^2

Square root both sides

c= plus or minus about 11.18, but the answer has to be positive because this is a real life situation and a ladder cannot be -11 feet long.
