The ladder forms the hypotenuse (r) and the wall forms the vertical (y) of a right triangle. sin theta = y / r the angle at the bottom is (90 - 32) = 58
sin 58 = 20 / r
r = 20 / sin 58 = 23.583568067241928552025478405751 feet
ladder must be about (rounding) 23.6 feet long.

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
23.58 feetA+no its not i just tryed it so yea get your facts right before putting them on herebut i dont even know this so srry for the ppl look for it
A degree is a measure of rotation, a foot is a measure of distance. These two are incomparable.
are they standing striaght up?
