Need help with this trigonometry word problem A ladder placed against a wall such that it reaches the top of the wall of height 6 m and the ladder is inclined at an angle of 60°. Find how far the ladder is from the foot of the wall.
Please show your work

Step-by-step explanation:

to find how far the ladder is from the foot of the wall

we will use tan function because we are given opposite and angle

we need to find adjacent

let adjacent be BC

we will use a little bit algebra to figure out BC

Step-by-step explanation:

in triangle ABC

relationship between perpendicular and base is given by tan angle

tan 60=p/b

b=6/tan60=3.46m

the ladder is 3.46m from the foot of the wall.
