Answer:

46.67 in

46.67 in

Step-by-step explanation:

the value of the hypotenuse (length of the ladder ) is given. We are to determine the value of the opposite side (distance from the ground) and adjacent side ( distance from the wall)

(distance from the ground = sin 45 = opposite / hypotenuse

0.7071 = x/66

x = 66 x 0.7071 = 46.67

distance from the wall = cos 45 = adjacent / hypotenuse

0.7071 = x/66

x = 66 x 0.7071 = 46.67
