A ladder that leans against a building makes an angle of 49 degree with the ground and reaches a point on the building 12m above the ground Find the length of the ladder to the nearest meter?

The ladder forms a right angle with the building: the ground and the building forming the right angle and the ladder forming the hypotenuse. If the length of the ladder is L metres, then sin(49) = 12/L So L = 12/sin(49) = 15.9 = 16 metres.

A ladder leaning against a wall makes a 60 degree angle with the ground When is it more likely to slip when a person stands on the ladder near the top or near the bottom Explain?

near the bottom.because the net force is equal to zero


A ladder is leaning against a wall If the angle is between the ground and the ladder at 60 degrees and the wall is 4m how long is the ladder Give exact values?

If the angle between the ladder and the ground is 60 deg, and you know the angle between the ground and the wall is 90 deg, then you have a 30-60-90 degree triangle, which is a common triangle. You should memorize this one. The commonest sides of this right triangle are 4-5-6, with the longest side being the hypoteneuse, in this case the ladder leaning from the ground to the wall. The wall is 4m high, the base of the ladder would be 5m out from the wall, and the length of the ladder is 6m.


Ladder stand 10 foot tall when braced against a wall the bottom of the ladder is 6 foot away from the wall how far up the wall does the ladder go?

assuming the wall and ground make a 90 degree angle with one another, Pythagorean's Theorem states the ladder will go 8 feet up the wall.


A painter is standing at the base of a ladder that is leaning against the side of a house What angle do the ladder and the house form?

It can be any angle that is more than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees. <><><> It will be an ACUTE angle, and if the ladder is placed properly (1 ft out for each 4 ft up) the angle between wall and ladder will be ABOUT 18 degrees.


How long must a ladder be to reach the top of a 20 ft wall if the ladder and the wall form a 32 degree angle?

A ladder leaning against a 20ft wall, with an angle of 32 degrees with respect to the wall, must be 24ft long. cos(theta) = adjacent over hypotenuse cos(32) = 20 / hypotenuse hypotenuse = 20 / cos(32) hypotenuse = 23.58


How long must a ladder be to reach the top of a 20' wall if the ladder and the wall form a 32 degree angle (at the angle)?

Then an angle of 58 degrees will be at the bottom of the ladder. Use trigonometry and the sine ratio: sin = opp/hyp and hyp = opp/sin hyp = 20/sin(58) = 23.58356807 length of ladder = 24 feet to the nearest foot
