Question

A 12 m ladder propped against a wall forms an angle of 60° with the ground. Determine

how far the top of the ladder is from the ground. Include a diagram.

Answer 1

the top of the ladder is approx 8.485 meters off the ground

written explanation included

Explanation:

I should probably write this out in one note but bear with me, please.

Assuming the ground and the wall meet at a 90° angle

therefore the angles of the triangle formed are 90°, 30°, and 60°
