In order to use a ladder safely, the angle that the ladder forms with the ground should not exceed 70 degree. If you have a ladd

er that is 16 ft. long, what is the maximum height on the wall of a building that the ladder will safely reach? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

Maximum safe height can be reached by ladder = 15.03. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Let's assume the maximum safe height of wall = h

angle formed between ladder and ground = 70°

length of ladder = 16 ft

From the given data, it can be seen that ladder will form a right angle triangle structure with the wall

So,from the concept of trigonometry,

Sin70^o\ =\ \dfrac{\textrm{maximum safe height of wall}}{\textrm{length of ladder}}

=>Sin70^o\ =\ \dfrac{h}{16\ ft}

=>\ h\ =\ 16\times Sin70^o

=> h = 16 x 0.9396

=> h = 15.03 ft

So, the maximum safe height that can be reached by the ladder will be 15.03 ft.

Explain how you got the answer(:
Natali [406]
Hey there :) I'm pretty sure that your answer is D) ∠S ≅ <span>∠Y because corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent.

I think that it is the answer because if you shift your paper around, and look at the angles from different views, you can tell that angles S and Y are congruent, or the same, because of the way that both angles are at the end of the longer sides of both triangles.

So, your answer is D!

~Hope this helped!~</span>
