<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
- B) 22.32 feet
<h3><u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h3>
we are given that , a ladder is placed against a side of building , which forms a right angled triangle . We wre given one side of a right angled triangle ( hypotenuse ) as 23 feet and the angle of elevation as 76 ° . We can find the Perpendicular distance from the top of the ladder go to the ground by using the trigonometric identity:
Here,
- hypotenuse = 23 feet
= 76°
- Value of Sin
- Perpendicular = ?
