Given that:

Angle of elevation = 73°

Horizontal distance from foot of ladder to bottom of wall = x feets

Height of ladder = 14 feets

The horizontal distance, x :

Using trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 14 / x

Tan 73 = 14 / x

3.2708526 * x = 14

x = 14 / 3.2708526

x = 4.2802295

x = 4.3 feets
