Question

Help with solving real life applications with trig function

Answer 1

A 25 ft ladder leans against the side of a building and the angle between the ladder and the building is 22°. Find the vertical distance from the ground to the point at which the top of the ladder touches the building. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 2

Answer 10

oo Yes

Answer 11

so this changes the opposite and adjacent

Answer 12

so now this mean that the adjacent is
