A ladder of lenght 10 m is leaning against a walll an angle of 60° with the horizontal plane. it touches the wall apoint A.if the ladder is rearranged in a way that it leans against the wall making angle 30° with the horizontal plane it touches the wall at point b.find the length of A B.

Answer:
3.66 m
Step-by-step explanation:
If we draw a right angled ∆AOD:
angle DAO = 60°.
Using value of cos 60° = 1/2.
Cos 60° = AO/AD.
Putting all the values we get
1/2 = AO / 10 .
AO = 5m.
Similarly in ∆BOD
Cos 30° = OB/BD
Cos 30° = √3/2.
Putting all the values in the above equation:
√3/2 = OB/10.
OB = 5√3.
Distance between A and B = OB - OA = 5√3 - 5 = 5(√3 - 1) = 3.66 m.
