Answer:

5.2 ft

Explanation:


\cos 30 \degree = (6)/(length \: of \: platform) \\ \\ ( √(3) )/(2) = (6)/(length \: of \: platform) \\ \\ length \: of \: platform = (2 * 6)/( √(3) ) \\ \\ length \: of \: platform = (12√(3) )/( 3) \\ \\ length \: of \: platform =4 √(3) \\ \\ length \: of \: platform =4 * 1.732 \\ \\ length \: of \: platform = 5.228 \\ \\ length \: of \: platform = 5.2 \: ft
