Answer:

7 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

This set up will give a right angle triangle where;

Length of the ladder is the hypotenuse = x

The distance of the ladder to the house is the adjacent = 3 feet

Angle of elevation theta = 72 degrees

Using the CAH in trigonometry identity;

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 72 = 3/hyp

hyp = 3/cos72

hyp = 3/0.4258

hyp = 7.05 feet

Hence the ladder is approximately 7 feet long
