Question

A ladder leaning against a wall makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal If the foot of the ladder is 50 m away from the wall, find the length of the ladder

Answer 1

Answer:

86.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

draw first the diagram

tan angle= opposite/adjacent

tan 60=l/ 50m

l=tan60 x 50m

tan 60=1.732

l=1.732x50m

l= 86.6m
