Answer:
The answer is D, as the trapezoid will not change at all due to the fact that it is just being rotated. (Rotations do not change a shape's measures or shape). :)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)
So, the ans is A.........
There are a lot of numbers you can think of, for example, 1030, or even 9939, but I don't recommend you put that ;)
