Question

Safety guidelines specify that a ladder should form an angle between 70° and 80° with the ground. If a ladder is 4 m long, determine the range of distances from the wall that the foot of the ladder may be placed to fall within the safety guidelines?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

70 = x/4

x = 4 cos 70 = 1.37m

x = 4 cos  80 = 0.69m  

The range is ( 0.69m, 1.37m)
