Question
A fire ladder extends 18m. Each storey of a burning building is 10ft. If the ladder can have a maximum angle with the ground of 75 degrees, to what storey would the ladder reach?
Answers
sin(75) = 18/x
x = 18/sin(75)
x = 61.14 ft
approx. the 6th story
x = 18/sin(75)
x = 61.14 ft
approx. the 6th story
you need to convert 18 m to ft btw or 10ft to meters
thanks
