In the picture below, h is height of building and x is the distance the base of the ladder is away from the base of the building.
We use trigonometry to find x, particularly the cosine function.
cos(29.37°) = x/32
cos(29.37°)(32) = x
27.8870633052 = x
We now round off to the nearest hundredths, which means to two decimal places.
27.89 feet = x
