A ladder 15 feet long leans against a wall and forms an angle of 45° with the ground. How far from the wall is the ladder?

Draw a picture and label the ground X, the wall Y, and do include the 45 degree angle. Next, use the fact that cos(45) = adjacent/hypotenuse. Or, cos(45) = x/15. Cross multiply, evaluate the value of cos(45), and solve for X. Ok?
