Question

A ladder leans against a wall forming a 67° angle with the ground. The top of the ladder touches the wall 14 ft above the ground. Determine the length of the ladder and the horizontal distance from the wall to the ladder base, rounded to two decimals.

Accepted Answer

Ladder ≈ 15.21 ft; horizontal distance ≈ 5.94 ft

Answer

Ladder ≈ 14.00 ft; horizontal distance ≈ 6.00 ft

Answer

Ladder ≈ 16.80 ft; horizontal distance ≈ 5.20 ft

Answer

Ladder = 14/sin(67°) and horizontal = 14·sin(67°)
