Answer :
Answer:3.21 m
Explanation:
Given
Length of ladder [tex]L=7.9\ m[/tex]
inclination of ladder [tex]\theta =66^{\circ}[/tex]
If x is the horizontal distance between building and ladder then,
Using trigonometric relation
we get
[tex]\cos \theta =\frac{x}{L}[/tex]
[tex]x=L\cos \theta [/tex]
[tex]x=7.9\times \cos (66)[/tex]
[tex]x=3.21\ m[/tex]
