Answer 1

Answer:

9.0 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance from the bottom of the board to the edge of the wall be represented as "x"

Angle measure = θ = 53.13°

Hypotenuse = 15 ft

Adjacent side = x ft

The trigonometric ratio we would apply would be CAH:

Thus,

Cosine θ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Plug in the values

Cos 53.13° = x/15

Multiply both sides by 15

15 * Cos 53.13 = x

9.00002143 = x

x ≈ 9.0 ft (nearest tenth)

Therefore, distance from the bottom of the board to the edge of the wall = 9.0 ft
