Question : A 22 m long ladder (whose foot is on the ground) leans against a wall making an angle of 60° with the wall. What is the height (in m) of the point where the ladder touches the wall from the ground?
Option 1: $\frac{22 \sqrt{2}}{3}$
Option 2: $11 \sqrt{2}$
Option 3: $11$
Option 4: $11 \sqrt{3}$
Correct Answer: $11 \sqrt{3}$
Solution : Given, In $\triangle$ABC AB is the height of the point of the ladder on the wall. $\sin 60° = \frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AC}}$ ⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{\text{AB}}{22}$ ⇒ AB = $11\sqrt{3}$ m Hence, the correct answer is $11\sqrt{3}$.

Question : A ladder leaning against a window of a house makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the ground. If the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall is 4.2 m, then the height of the point, where the ladder touches the window from the ground is closest to:
Question : A ladder is placed along a wall such that its upper end is touching the top of the wall. The foot of the ladder is 10 ft away from the wall, and the ladder is making an angle of 60° with the ground. When a man starts climbing on it, it slips and now the ladder makes
Question : A ladder leaning against a wall makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal ground such that $\tan \theta=\frac{12}{5}$. If the height of the top of the ladder from the wall is 24 m, then what is the distance (in m) of the foot of the ladder from the wall?
