Algebra.Com's Answer #184654 by drk(1908)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have probably drawn a picture. The ladder (hypotenuse) = 5 ft. The ladder makes an angle of 30 degrees. WE have a 30-60-90 triangle. The side opposite the 30 degree angle is 1/2 the hypotenuse. The ladder rests 2.5 feet up the wall. \n" ); document.write( " |
