Aiden was on a ladder painting a spot on a wall which is 30 feet above the ground. The distance between the base of the ladder and the base of the wall is 10 feet. If the ladder leans on the wall at the spot 30 feet above the ground, how long is the ladder that Aiden is using? Round to the nearest tenth.

there are no choices to this, can you give us some choices so that i can answer it

step-by-step explanation:

yx = 36

step-by-step explanation:

cos f = opposite side/ hypotenuse

cos f = yw / yx

we know cos f = 4/9 and yw =16

4/9 = 16/yx

multiply each side by yx

4/9 yx = 16/ yx * yx

4/9 yx = 16

multiply each side by 9/4

9/4 * 4/9 yx = 16 *9/4

yx = 36

6950 is the
