Question

the elevation of a ladder leaning againt awall is 60° and the foot of the ladder 9.5° away the wall find length the ladder​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation is60

Let the length of ladder be x

Distance from the wall is 9.5m

tan60=x/9.5

√3=x/9.5

16.45=x

Therefore the length of ladder=16.45m

Answer 2

CORRECT QUESTION :

The angle of elevation of a ladder againt awall is 60° and the foot of the ladder 9.5 m away the wall. find length the ladder.

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

$\green{\therefore{\text{Length\:of\:ladder=19\:m}}}$

$\orange{\bold{\underline{\underline{Step-by-step\:explanation:}}}}$

• In the given question information given about angle of elevation of a ladder againt awall is 60° and the foot of the ladder 9.5 m away the wall.

• We have to Find the length of ladder.

$\green{\underline \bold{Given :}} \\ : \implies \text{Distance \: between\: ladder \:and\:wall= 9.5\:m} \\ \\ : \implies \text{Angle\:of\:elevation\:of\:ladder\:against\:wall= 60\degree} \\ \\ \red{\underline \bold{To \: Find:}} \\ : \implies \text{Length\:of\: ladder = ?}$

• Accroding to given question :

$\bold{In \: \triangle \: ABC} \\ : \implies cos\:\theta=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\ \\ : \implies cos\:60\degree = \frac{distance\:between\:wall\:and\:foot\:of\:ladder}{length\:of\:ladder} \\ \\ : \implies \frac{1}{2}= \frac{9.5}{H} \\ \\ : \implies \frac{H}{2}=9.5 \\ \\ : \implies H = 9.5\times 2 \\ \\ \green{: \implies \text{H = 19\: m}}$
