A 12 foot board rests against the wall. The angle that the board makes with the ground is 60 degrees. How far is the base of the board from the wall?

Answer 1

6 foot i believe sorry if i am the opposite of correct

Answer 2

6 foot

Explanation:

Since the board is 12foot and the angle makes 60 degrees to the wall, we can assume that it is the 30,60,90 degreees. 30,60,90 degrees triangle makes the side of x, 2x ,and xroot3.

Hence, the board(12foot) is equal to 2x.

x=6
