A 4 meter ladder leans against a house forming a 30° angle with the house. Exactly how far is the
De 7. base of the ladder from the house in meters?

2.meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenght of ladder = 4 m

θ = 30°

To obtain h;

Using Pythagoras rule :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

Hypotenus = 4 ; opposite = h

Sin 30 = h / 4

0.5 = h / 4

h = 0.5 * 4

h = 2 m

Hence, distance between th efoot of ladder and the base of the wall is 2 m

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.
