a ladder leaning against the wall makes an angel of 68 degrees with the level ground . the foot of the ladder is 3 ft away from the wall . how far up the wall does the ladder reach ?
Did you draw a diagram? Review your basic trig functions? If so, then you can easily see that the height h can be found using

h/3 = tan68°
why be a smartasss about it & it was my first time taking trig they told us do what we think we could solve
