The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is 60° and the foot of the ladder is 4.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder is:

Correct Answer: 9.2 m

Explanation:

Let AB be the wall and BC be the ladder.


Then, ∠ACB = 60° and AC = 4.6 m.



AC = cos 60° = 1
BC 2



⟹ BC = 2 x AC
= (2 x 4.6) m
= 9.2 m.
