.A 15 m ladder rests against a wall at an angle of 60° with the ground. How far is the foot of the ladde from the wall?

9514 1404 393

  7.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosine relation applies.

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(60°) = (distance to wall)/(15 m)

  distance to wall = (15 m)cos(60°) = (15 m)(1/2) = 7.5 m

The foot of the ladder is 7.5 m from the wall.

the answer is 13

step-by-step explanation:

5*5=25

12*12=144

25+144=169

169^2=13
