Answer:
9.000000001
Step-by-step explanation:
If the hypotenuse is 15, the ladder, facing the right angle, and the opposite is 12 we need to use SOH to find the angle.
sin of angle is opposite / hypotenuse
sin of angle is 12 / 15
12/15 = 0.8
sin^-1 of 0.8 = 53.13010235
Angle is that
Then we do this again but a different equation
cos of angle is adjacent (x which we are looking for) / hypotenuse
cos of 53.13... is x / 15
(15 x cos of 53.13... )is x
So 15 x cos of 53.13... is 9.000000001 feet away.
