Question

A 32-ft ladder leans against a building so that the angle between the ground and the ladder is 64°. How high does the ladder reach up the side of the building? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer 1

Draw and label a diagram!

h represents the height along the wall

sin 64° = h / 32

Can you solve for h and answer?

Answer 2

height = 32sin64 = about 28.7614 feet
