I HAVE AN EXAM PLEASE HELP ME GET THE ANSWER A ladder leans against a wall creating a 58• angle. The ladder reaches 4.5m up the wall.
Calculate how long the ladder is.

The ladder is 5.3 m long
Step by step solution
1. Draw out the scenario, ie a right triangle where the hypotenuse is the ladder, the wall is 4.5m and the angle the ladder and the ground makes 58 degree.

2. Soh, Cah, Toa
The wall is opposite, the ground is adjacent, and the ladder is hypotenuse
Sine (58) = 4.5/h

3. Solve for hypotenuse
h * sine (58) = 4.5
h = 4.5/sine (58)
h = ~ 5.3 m

Thank goodness thank you you so

No because if you do the higher number minus the lower number you will get a positive. if you do it the other way around you will get a negative number
