2. One ladder is leaning against a wall so that its base is 4 ft from the wall and it reached a height of 8/2 ft on the wall. Another ladder is leaning against a wall so that its base is 2 ft from the wall and it reached a height of 42 ft on the wall. Determine the length of each ladder. Then, prove that the two triangles formed in the solution are similar.
