Question

A ladder is placed along a wall of a house such that its upper end is touching the top of the wall. The foot of the ladder is 2 m away from the wall and the ladder is making an angle of 60° with the level of the ground. Determine the height of the wall.

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the wall  is 2√3 m.  

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :

Distance between the foot of the ladder and wall  , BC = 2 m  

Angle of elevation , ∠BCA (θ) = 60°

Let AB =  'h' m be the height of the wall.

In right angle triangle, ∆ABC ,

tan θ  = P/ B

tan 60° = AB/BC  

√3 = h/2

h = 2 × √3

AB = 2√3 m

Hence , the height of the wall  is 2√3 m.
