A/P/V Problem

Question

It's late… too late. You should have been home an hour ago and the door is locked. Luckily, you left your bedroom window unlocked, knowing that a ladder was in the backyard.
The bottom of your window is 25 m from the ground and the ladder is 30 m long. Unfortunately, the neighbours' unfriendly pit bull is chained to a pole that is 26 m from your house with a chain that is 10 m long.

A) Draw and fully label a diagram for the situation described above.
B) What is the distance from the base of the ladder to your house (to the nearest tenth of a metre)? 
C) How far is the ladder from the pole? 
D) Will you be able to get into your room without the dog getting you first? Justify your answer fully.
