A step ladder 2.2m high was opened making an angle of 30° Calculate distance between legs of ladder

4 answers

i don't know where the angle meet up so i just pick it from btw d leg
here where x is the leg
tan30=2.2/x
x=2.2m/30

sorry it would be 1/2 of 30degree=15degree
so
x=2.2m/tan15
total distance =2*x

oooh what wrong with me
it
tan15=x/2.2m
x=2.2m*tan15

Collin's last reply is correct.
