Question 1053745: A LADDER 6.5 M LONG LEANS AGAINST A WALL , TOUCHING THE WINDOW SILL , AND MAKES AN ANGLE OF 62 WITH THE GROUND . FIND THE HEIGHT OF THE WINDOW SILL ABOUT THE GROUND . HOW FAR IS THE FOOT OF LADDER FROM FOOT OF WALL Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg being the distance from the wall and the other leg being the height to the windowsill.
sin 62=x/6.5 for the height
6.5 sin 62=height=5.74 m
---
The distance from the wall is cosine(distance)/hypotenuse
cos 62=y/6.5
6.5 cos 62=y=3.05 m
