Question 872306: A ladder leaning against the wall makes an angle of 74 degrees with the ground. If the foot of the ladder is 6.5 feet from the wall, how high on the wall is the ladder? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the ladder the ground and the wall form a right triangle.
the ladder angle to the ground is 74 deg
distance from wall = 6.5 feet
Tan 74 = height of ladder /distance
tan 74 = height/6.5
h= 6.5 * tan 74 deg
