Complete Question

A 12.5-m fire truck ladder is leaning against a wall. Find the distance d the ladder goes up the wall​ (above the fire​ truck) if the ladder makes an angle of  

40° 16' with the horizontal.

Answer:

 [tex]d=8.01m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length of ladder [tex]l=12.5m[/tex]

Angle [tex]\theta=40° 16'=20.26 \textdegree[/tex]

Generally the Trigonometric equation for distance d it goes up the wall is mathematically given by

 [tex]d=l sin \theta[/tex]

 [tex]d=12.5 sin 40.26[/tex]

 [tex]d=8.01m[/tex]
