The ladder and box problem - a classic challenge!

Special thanks this month to: Michael Anvari, Kyle. Thanks to all supporters on Patreon! A ladder leans against a wall, just touching the corner of a cubical box. If the ladder has a length of 4, and the box has a side of 1, what is the distance between the top of the box and the top of the ladder?

Like many YouTubers I use popular software to prepare my videos. You can search for animation software tutorials on YouTube to learn how to make videos. Be prepared--animation is time consuming and software can be expensive!
