The horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is 67.0 feet.

What is distance?

distance is the length between two points.

To calculate the horizontal distance between the ladder and the wall, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • cos∅ = adjacent(y)/hypotenous(h)

Make y the subject of the equation

  • h = y/cos∅........ Equation 2

Where:

  • ∅ = Angle between the wall and the ladder
  • y =  horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall
  • h = Lenght of the ladder lean against the wall

From the question,

Given:

  • y = 24 foot
  • ∅ = 69°

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • y = 24/(cos69°)
  • y = 24/0.358
  • y = 67.0 feet.

Hence, The horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is 67.0 feet.
