The ladder and the wall it leans on are illustrations of right triangle
The horizontal distance from the base of the ladder is 5.41 feet
<h3>How to determine the horizontal distance?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Length (L) = 26 feet
Angle of elevation (θ) = 78 degrees
The horizontal distance (D) is calculated using the following cosine ratio
cos(θ) = D/L
Substitute known values
cos(78) = D/26
Make D the subject
D = 26 * cos(78)
Multiply
D = 5.41
Hence, the horizontal distance from the base of the ladder is 5.41 feet

Answer:
The 2nd one
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to this question is letter B
Is there choices ? I got 0.216
2x + 3y = 6
3y = - 2x + 6
y = -2/3x + 2....slope here is -2/3
A parallel line will have the same slope
y = mx + b
slope(m) = - 2/3
(-2,3)...x = -2 and y = 3
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y intercept
3 = -2/3(-2) + b
3 = 4/3 + b
3 - 4/3 = b
9/3 - 4/3 = b
5/3 = b
ur equation is : y = -2/3x + 5/3 (slope intercept form)
y = -2/3x + 5/3
2/3x + y = 5/3
2x + 3y = 5 (standard form)
