Question

An electrician leans an extension ladder against the outside wall of a house so that it

reaches an electric box 27 feet up. The ladder makes an angle of 62° with the ground.
Find the length of the ladder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if

27 / 0.4539

h= 59.48

h=59.5 feet

Answer 2
