Answer:
Your question indicates the ladder is at an angle of 60° to the wall, meaning the angle between the wall and the ladder is 60° and the angle between the ladder and the ground must be 30°. Not a very efficient way to set up a ladder.
5.7735 meters. The top of the ladder is 2.8868 meters off the ground.
Now, if you meant the ladder is 60° from the ground, that’s a different story.
Then, the ladder is 10 meters long and reaches 8.6603 meters from the ground.
A 30–60–90 right triangle is half of an equalateral triangle. Therefore the hypotenuse is double the length of the short leg, and by the Pythagorean theorum, we can determine that the other leg is the length of the short leg times the square root of 3.
All lengths in this answer are rounded to the nearest tenth of a millimeter.
