So will be choice D.
bc. 5/6 = 10/12 = 2*5/2*6 = 5/6
The distance, In feet, from the base of the ladder to the base of the wall is 4.2 ft.
He needs to move the ladder 0.1 ft closer to the base of the building.
The situation forms a right angle triangle.
<h3>Right angle triangle</h3>
Right angle triangle has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sides and angle can be found using trigonometric ratios.
The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed. Therefore, the distance, In feet, from the base of the ladder to the base of the wall can be calculated as follows;
cos 65° = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos 65° = d / 10
d = 10 × 0.42261826174
d = 4.22618261741
d = 4.2 ft
She needs to move the ladder so it reached a window 9.6 feet above the ground. Therefore, the distance from the base of the ladder and the wall is as follows;
cos 65 = d / 9.6
d = 9.6 × 0.42261826174
d = 4.05696
d = 4.1
Therefore, he needs to move the ladder 0.1 ft closer to the building.
