Answer 1

Answer:

6.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder lying on the wall with an elevation of 39° forms a right angled triangle.

Hypotenuse = length of ladder = 10 ft

Opposite = x = ?

θ = 39°

Use trigonometric ratio formula to find, x, which is how far the ladder goes up the wall.

The trigonometric ratio formula to use is:

sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin(39) = x/10

Multiply both sides by 10

10*sin(39) = x

x = 10*sin(39)

x = 6.29 ≈ 6.3 ft (to nearest tenth)
