Answer:

length of ladder ≈ 30.6 ft

Explanation:

the model of the situation is a right triangle

with the hypotenuse being the length (l) of the ladder , then

sin62° =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(27)/(l) ( cross- multiply )

l × sin62° = 27 ( divide both sides by sin62° )

l =
(27)/(sin62) ≈ 30.6 ( to the nearest tenth )

the ladder is 30.6 feet in length
