Prev
A ladder 15 m long just reaches the top of a vertical wall. If the ladder makes an angle of 60° with the wall, find the height of the wall.
Answer:
Consider the vertical wall WL = x m (let)
Length of inclined ladder AW = 15 m ...[Given]
Ladder makes an angle of 60° with the wall.
\begin{array}{l} \therefore \frac{x}{15}=\cos 60^{\circ} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{x}{15}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{2}=7.5 \end{array}
Hence, the height of the wall = 7.5 m.
