A 20-foot ladder is placed against a wall at a 75� angle with the ground. The wall is perpendicular to the ground. How high on the wall, in feet, will the ladder reach.
h = 20*sin(75)
==========
What is the distance, in feet, from the wall to the base of the ladder
d = 20*cos(75)
----------
Don't let this be a mystery. Figure it out.
