Question

The foot of a 24 ft ladder is placed 6 ft from the base of a building, determine at what height the
ladder rests on the building.

Answer 1

Answer:

12.6491106

Step-by-step explanation:

 

With respect to the angle formed by the bottom of the

ladder with the ground

  cos T = 6/14 = 3/7  

 T = inverse-cosine(3/7) = 64.623006647 degrees

 

 sin(64.623006647) = h/14

 

 h = 14*sin(64.62300647) = 12.6491106
