An 18-feet ladder is leaning against the side of a building. The angle between the ladder and the ground is 30°. How high up on the building, from the ground, is the top of the ladder?

9514 1404 393

  9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine relation applies.

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(30°) = height/(18 ft)

  height = (18 ft)sin(30°) = (18 ft)(1/2)

  height = 9 ft

The ladder extends 9 feet up the side of the building.

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !
