Given:
Jeriel leans a 26-foot ladder against a wall so. that it forms an angle of 61 with the ground.
The ladder and the ground and the wall will form a right angle triangle
The ladder will represent the hypotenuse (h)
The legs of the triangle are the wall (a) and the ground (b)
So, there is an angle between the hypotenuse (h) and the ground (b) = 61
The ground will be the adjacent sideafoota foot
So, the answer will be:
The horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall = 12.61 feet
