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.
