A ladder leaning against the wall makes an angle of 74 with the ground. if the foot of the ladder is 6.5 feet from the wall, how high on the wall is the ladder?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'h' represent the height of the ladder on the wall
tan(74) = h/6.5
h = 6.5*tan(74)
by solving we find:
h = 22.67 ft
