A ladder is propped against the side of a building making a 30 degree
angle with the building
If the base of the ladder is 6 feet from the base of the building, how
high will the ladder be resting against the building, in feet? Round
your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer :

Using trigonometry. This picture shows a ‘not to scale’ sketch of the following question. Use Sin 30. Sin 30= opposite/hypo tenuse. That is simply dividing 6 ft over Sin 30 that is 12 feet.
