Question

A 50-foot ladder is leaning against a vertical wall and forms an angle of 75 degrees with the ground.

Answer 1

height of the wall ] is 48.25ft

Explanation:

Given data

Length of ladder= 50ft

Angle= 75°

We want to find the Height of the wall

Applying the SOH CAH TOA

sin ∅= opposite/hypotenus

sin 75= opposite/ 50

0.965= opposite/ 50

opposite=0.965*50

opposite= 48.25ft

Hence the height of the wall ] is 48.25ft
