The accompanying diagram shows a 24-foot ladder

leaning against a building. A steel brace extends

from the ladder to the point where the building

meets the ground. The brace forms a right angle

with the ladder. If the steel brace is connected to

the ladder at a point that is 10 feet from the foot of the ladder, which equation can be used to find the length, x, of the steel brace
