Sin(75)= 23/x (hyp)

x= 23/sin(75)=23/.956= 23.8

Rounded to the nearest whole number will get you 24 feet

Let L be the length of the ladder, and consider the 75 degree angle.  Thinking in terms of trig, the "opposite side" of the triangle formed by the ladder, the ground and the wall is 23 ft.  Your job is to determine the length of the ladder, which is the same as the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle.

The sine function relates these two lenths:

                     opp. side           23 ft

sin 75 deg = ----------------  =  --------------

                       hyp                    hyp

                                             23 ft                     23 ft

Solving for hyp,   hyp = ----------------------  =  ------------ = 23.8 ft                                                                    sin 75 deg             0.956

The minimum ladder length would be 23.8 ft, which rounds up to 24 ft.

Check:  is (23.8 ft)(sin 75) = 23 ft?  Yes.

One u.s. fluid gallon contains a volume of 231 cubic inches. how many liters of gasoline would you have to buy in canada to fill
denis23 [38]
For this problem, we are asked to convert from one unit to another unit so we need conversion factors to be able to do this. We need to convert from gallon to cubic inches then from cubic inches to liter. We do as follows:

14 gallon ( 231 in^3 / 1 gallon ) ( 2.54 cm / 1 in )^3 ( 1 L / 103 cm^3) = 514.52 L
