  with the ground. What’s the horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the bottom of the wall? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot if necessary.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Horizontal distance = 2828 * cos(65°).

cos(65°) ≈ 0.422618, so distance ≈ 2828 × 0.422618 = 1195.16 ft (to the nearest hundredth).
