Fun Math Problem 'Cussed Ladders'
See this math problem on Popular Scientific magazine look interesting.

Here is the problem:

You were told of two ladders leaning opposite ways between two buildings, one
touching 8 feet above the ground, the other 12. At what height above the ground would they cross?

Which way you will solve for this problem?
