Question

The angle of ekevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is 30 degree and foot of the ladder is 5m away from the wall .the length of the ladder is

Answer 1

A/Q
cos30°=5/length
=>root3/2 × 1/5=length
=>length=root3/10

Answer 2

$\blue{\bold{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}}$

$\green{\therefore{\text{Length\:of\:ladder=5.77\:m}}}$

• In the given question information given about angle of elevation of a ladder to wall is 30° and the foot of the ladder 5 m away the wall.

• We have to Find the length of ladder.

$\green{\underline \bold{Given :}} \\ : \implies \text{Distance \: between\: ladder \:and\:wall= 5\:m} \\ \\ : \implies \text{Angle\:of\:elevation\:of\:ladder\:to\:wall= 30\degree} \\ \\ \red{\underline \bold{To \: Find:}} \\ : \implies \text{Length\:of\: ladder = ?}$

• Accroding to given question :

$\bold{In \: \triangle \: ABC} \\ : \implies cos\:\theta=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\ \\ : \implies cos\:30\degree = \frac{distance\:between\:wall\:and\:foot\:of\:ladder}{length\:of\:ladder} \\ \\ : \implies \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}= \frac{5}{H} \\ \\ : \implies \frac{\sqrt{3}H}{2}=5 \\ \\ : \implies H = \frac{5\times 2}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\ :\implies H=\frac{10}{1.732} \\ \\ \green{: \implies \text{H = 5.77\: m}}$
