The length of ladder is 30 ft.
<h3>How can the feet that made up the side of the building is the top of the ladder be known ?</h3>The formula below can be used in solving the problem
Tan (∅)=
∅=70°
opposite = BC
Adjacent = 12 ft
70°= opposite/ 12
opposite= 32.96 ft
Therefore, The length of ladder is 30 ft.

Answer:
Step-by-step Explanation:
Given:
∆UVW,
m < U = 33°
m < V = 113°
VW = u = 29 m
Required:
Area of ∆UVW
Solution:
Find side length UV using Law of Sines
U = 33°
u = VW = 29 m
W = 180 - (33+113) = 34°
w = UV = ?
Cross multiply
Divide both sides by sin(33) to make w the subject of formula
(rounded to nearest whole number)
Find the area of ∆UVW using the formula,
(to nearest tenth).
