Answer:

The height of the ladder is 6.9 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • angle: 60°
  • opposite: 6 meter
  • hypotenuse: height of ladder

As opposite and hypotenuse given, use sine rule:


\rightarrow \sf sin(x) = (opposite)/(hypotenuse)


\rightarrow \sf sin(60) = (6)/(h)


\rightarrow \sf h = (6)/(sin(60)) = 4√(3) = 6.928 \ meters \quad \approx \ 6.9 \ meters \ \ (one \ decimal \ place)
