Question

A 20 meter long ladder rests on a steep wall. It makes an angle of 6 degrees with the ground. Find the distance between the legs from the wall.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

i thik angle should be 60 degrees.

Answer 2

Answer:

length of the ladder = 20 m = hypotenuse

angle of elevation= 60°

To find the length of base=?

As the wall make 90° because wall is I'm vertical form..

So it is a right angled triangle.

Now. by using the formula

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sec(60) = \frac{hypotenus}{base} \\ \\ 2 = \frac{20}{base} \\ \\ base = \frac{20}{2} \\ \\ base = 10$
