This means that we have the angle, the side across from it, and the side adjacent to it. That sounds like the tangent ratio to me! Tangent of the angle is the side opposite over the side adjacent: 
. Solving for x: 
. Do that on your calculator in degree mode to get that the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is 21 feet
