18. A 12-foot ladder is placed against the side of a building as shown in Figure 1 below. The
bottom of the ladder is 8 feet from the base of the building. In order to increase the reach of the
ladder against the building, the ladder is moved 3 feet closer to the base of the building as shown
in Figure 2.
