3. A ladder 6m long leans against a wall and makes an angle of 50 degree with the wall. find the distance between the wail and the foot of the ladder, correct to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Using trigonometry, we can use the sine function to find the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder.

sin 50° = opposite / hypotenuse
sin 50° = x / 6
x = 6 sin 50°
x ≈ 4.59

Therefore, the distance between the wall and the foot of the ladder is approximately 4.59m.
