Answer:

≈ 35.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The model is a right triangle with ladder being the hypotenuse and the angle between the ground and the ladder is 70°

Using the cosine ratio, with l being the length of the ladder.

cos70° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{12}{l} ( multiply both sides by l )

l × cos70° = 12 ( divide both sides by cos70° )

l = \frac{12}{cos70} ≈ 35.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

The ladder is approx 35.1 ft long
