Kylie leans a 30-foot ladder against a wall so that it forms an angle of 74^{\circ}

with the ground. What’s the horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot if necessary.

Respuesta :

Answer:

8.27 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry of a right angled triangle:

cos 74 = x / 30        where x is the required distance

x = 30 cos 74

= 8.269 ft
