You can put this solution on YOUR website!
60 degrees at the wall, and 30 degrees at the ground or foot.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If x is how far from the wall to the foot along the ground,
\n" ); document.write( "and y is how far up the wall the head touches the wall,
\n" ); document.write( "then \"tan%2860%29=x%2Fy\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want to find solution for y, given that x=8.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2Atan%2860%29=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=x%2Ftan%2860%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=8%2Ftan%2860%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=8%2Fsqrt%283%29%29\"---------Do what you need from this.
