Answer:

Distance of ladder top from ground = 9.2 meter (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of elevation between ground and ladder = 43°

Length of ladder = 13.5 meter

Find:

Distance of ladder top from ground

Computation:

Length of ladder = Hypotenuse

Distance of ladder top from ground = Perpendicular

Sinθ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse

Sin 43 = Distance of ladder top from ground / Length of ladder

0.6819 = Distance of ladder top from ground / 13.5

Distance of ladder top from ground = 9.20565

Distance of ladder top from ground = 9.2 meter (Approx.)
