A ladder leans against the side of a house. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 72 degrees, and the top of the ladder is 13 ft above the ground. Find the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the side of the house. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. I do not know math to save my life.

The distance measure is 4.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the side of the house

To get this, we can see that what we have is a right-angled triangle

We need to apply the appropriate trigonometric identity to get the value of what we want

Let us call the measure we want to calculate x

Mathematically;

Tan 72 = 13/x

x = 13/tan 72

x = 4.2 ft

man its nopq i just guessed and got it right so uhh
