Answer:

25.61 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw a picture (see attached picture). With the wall representing the rightmost line, and the ground representing the bottom line, the ladder (the hypotenuse) forms a 80 degree angle with the ground and the wall and ground form a 90 degree angle.

Without solving for other angles, we know one angle and the hypotenuse, and want to find the opposite side of the angle.

One formula that encompasses this is sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse, with x being 80 degrees and the hypotenuse being 26 feet. We thus have

sin(80°) = opposite / 26 feet

multiply both sides by 26 feet

sin(80°) * 26 feet = opposite

= 25.61 feet as the height of the wall the ladder reaches

Mhanifa u helped me with this question.... U said it was 25 and its not so why is it wrong
Yanka [14]

Hey I don't know who Mhanifa is but 25 is correct, and I will put the entire explanation to how to get the answer here.

First of all the 2 lines on the left and right side of the triangles are means that those 2 lines are equal and thus forming a isosceles triangle.

This means that the bottom right angle is also 2x+2 degrees.

Now because all 3 angles in a triangle adds to 180 degrees, we can set up equation.

3x+1+2x+2+2x+2=180

Now combine like terms

7x+5=180

Then solve, first subtract 5 from both sides.

7x=175

Now divide 7 from both sides

x=25
