Question

Michael is trying to hang Christmas lights on his house. His house is 17 ft tall and the ladder leaning is 34 degrees above the ground. How long must the ladder be to reach the house?

Answer 1

c= 14.86606875

Explanation:

c^2= a^2+5^2

c^2= 5^2+14^2

c^2= 25+196

c^2= 221

`\sqrt{c {}^(2) } = √(221)`

c= 14.86606875
