\n" );
document.write( "The bae of the ladder is 3 feet from the building.  
\n" );
document.write( "Usethe cosine determine the length of the ladder.
\n" );
document.write( "Let h represent the length of the ladder.
\n" );
document.write( " cos(58) = adj/hyp = 3/h
\n" );
document.write( "    h = 3ft/cos(58) = 5.66ft \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
