Answer:

21.74 ft

x = 20 Cos 85

x = 1.74 feet away from the base of the wall.

Since the ladder is 20 foot long, the total distance will be 1.74 + 20 = 21.74 ft

multiples of  14= 14,28,42,56,70,84,98,112,126,140,154,168,182,196,210,224,238

for the number above 238 is common to both

238minutes to hours= 3.96667

=3:58 minutes

this shows that commercials will show at the same time 1:58 minutes after the show
