If your asking what the price of something is, that was originally 29.99, and has been marked down by 33.33%, the easy way to do this is to take 30 and multiply it by 1/3, resulting in 20. The proper way is to take your calculator and multiply 29.99 by 0.333, resulting in roughly 9.98, meaning the price you pay is 20.00. Either way, your still going to pay $20 for the item.
Tanα=h/x
x=h/tanα
x=70/tan38 ft
x≈89.6 ft (to nearest tenth of a foot)
Note: the question seems strange, (because this would make the ladder almost 114 feet long!) or are we to assume as I did that the ladder is leaning against a point 70 feet high, or should if be a 70 foot ladder leaning against a wall of unknown height?
If it is just a 70 ft ladder at a 38° inclination the:
cosα=x/L
x=Lcosα
x=70cos38° ft
x≈55.2 ft
