Question : A ladder is resting against a wall. The angle between the foot of the ladder and the wall is 60°, and the foot of the ladder is 3.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder (in m) is:
Option 1: 5.4
Option 2: 3.6
Option 3: 14.4
Option 4: 7.2
Correct Answer: 7.2
Solution :
Let AC be the length of the ladder. BC = 3.6 m In $\triangle$ BAC, $\cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{BC}{AC}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3.6}{AC}$ ⇒ AC = 2 × 3.6 = 7.2 m Hence, the correct answer is 7.2 m.
