We can use trigonometry to solve this problem. Let x be the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall.

Using the definition of sine for the given angle, we have:

sin(53°) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(53°) = x/8
x = 8 * sin(53°)
x = 8 * 0.7986 ≈ 6.39

Therefore, the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall is approximately 6.39 meters.
