A 4 meter long ladder leans against a 90 degree wall at a 68 degree angle. How far is the top of the ladder from the ground?
How far is the bottom of the ladder from the wall?

Step-by-step explanation:

We use trig to answer these questions:

sin x = opposite side of a triangle / hypotenuse

cos x = adjacent side / hypotenuse

Construct a right triangle with hypotenuse 4 m and lower angle 68 degrees.

The height of the top of the ladder  is then defined by:

sin 68 degrees = height / 4 m, which yields (4 m)(sin 68) = height =

3.71 m

and the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall as follows:

cos 68 degrees = horizontal distance / hypotenuse =

1.50 m

well

44-3-3-3=35

35+4+4+4+4=51

so the ansewr would be 51 degreesat 7: 00
