A 25-foot ladder is leaning against a vertical wall (see figure) when Jack begins pulling the foot of the ladder away from the wall at a rate of 0.4 ft/s. How fast is the top of the ladder sliding down the wall when the foot of the ladder is 24 ft from the wall? 25 ft Let x be the distance from the foot of the ladder to the wall and let y be the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground. Write an equation relating x and y
