A ladder that is 30 feet long leans against the side of a house. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 75°. Find the height from the top of the ladder to the ground. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) ft
Added by Gregg R.
Step 1
We know: - The length of the ladder (hypotenuse) is 30 feet. - The angle of elevation is 75°. - We need to find the height from the top of the ladder to the ground (opposite side of the right triangle). Show more…
