Anna has leaned a ladder against the side of her house. if the ladder forms a 72? angle with the ground and rests against the house at a spot that is 6 meters high, approximately how far is the bottom of the ladder from the wall?

Respuesta :

tan(72)=6/x 
x=6/tan(72) 
on a calculator and get 1.9495 
which is about 1.9 
Therefore making it 2 meters. 

Hope this helps [:
