How do i solve the length of the ladder

Question

a painter is standing on a ladder that is leaning against a building. The angle the ladder makes with the ground is 44 degrees. The height of the building is 80 feet. Draw a picture representing the information, and find the length of the ladder, to the nearest foot

Answer 1

sin 44 = 80/h where h is the length of the ladder and the hypotenuse

h = 80/sin 44 = 115.16452317005810546249445558624‬...

The figure has formed a right triangle. The ladder is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. We can use the trigonometric sine function to find the length of the ladder. sine(angle) = length of side opposite angle/hypotenuse, where angle is 44 an length of side opposite angle is 80.
