A ladder leans against a vertical wall at an angle 60° to the wall, if the foot of the ladder is 5 metres away from the wall, calculate the length of the ladder.
5√3m/3
5m
10√3m/3
5√3m
10m
Correct answer is C
The ladder makes 60° inclination with the wall and its foot is 5m away from the wall.
Sketching the diagram, you will see that we have
sin60=5x (where x is the length of the ladder)
⇒ x=5sin60
x=10√33m
