Question

A ladder, leaning against a wall, makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal. If foot of ladder is 2.5 m away from wall, find length of ladder

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the ladder is 5 m.

To find:

The length of the ladder whose foot is 2.5 m away from the wall.

Given:

Distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder = 2.5 m

The angle of elevation is “60°"

Let the length of the ladder is L. The angle of elevation is 60°

Therefore, the length of the ladder is 5 m.

Answer 2

Answer:

length of ladder = 2.5√3

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 60 = length of ladder/distance away from wall

√3 =  AC / 2.5

AC = 2.5√3
