Answer:
4.3 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Angle of elevation = 73°
Horizontal distance from foot of ladder to bottom of wall = x feets
Height of ladder = 14 feets
The horizontal distance, x :
Using trigonometry :
Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent
Tan θ = 14 / x
Tan 73 = 14 / x
3.2708526 * x = 14
x = 14 / 3.2708526
x = 4.2802295
x = 4.3 feets
