Question 1103327: A 50-foot ladder is placed at a 60-degree angle of elevation from the ground. The ladder terminates at the top of a building.
Sketch the situation and label each side of the triangle. H = height of the building,
L= length of ladder, D = distance between the bottom of the ladder and the bottom
of the building. Identify which angle is the angle of elevation.
Use a trig function to calculate the distance between the bottom of the ladder
and the bottom of the building.
Use a trig function to calculate the height of the tower. Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, diana_granger:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
