15. A 16-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 4 feet closer to the base of the
building, as shown in Figure 2.

To the nearest foot, how much farther up the building does the
ladder now reach? Show how you arrived at your answer.
