How long must a ladder be to reach the top of a 20 foot wall if the ladder and the wall form a 32 degree angle?

Hypotenuse = 20/sin580 = 23.58356807 Length of ladder: rounded to 23.584 feet


A ladder rests against a wall the top of the ladder reaches 15 feet up the wall and makes an angle of 53 with the wall how long is the ladder?

If the wall is straight and the ground level then this is an outline of a right angle-triangle. If the top of the ladder makes an angle of 530 with the wall then the bottom of the ladder must make 370 to the ground. Use the sine ratio to find the length of the ladder (which will be the hypotenuse) sin = opp/hyp rearranged to hyp = opp/sin hyp = 15/sin370 = 24.92460212 feet So the length of the ladder is 25 feet correct to the nearest foot.


How big should ladder be to reach roof of house?

To determine the appropriate ladder length to reach the roof of a house, you should consider the height of the roof and the angle at which the ladder will be placed. A general rule is to use a ladder that is at least 3 feet taller than the height you need to reach. For example, if the roof is 20 feet high, a ladder of at least 23 feet would be ideal to ensure safety and stability. Always ensure the ladder is positioned at a safe angle, typically around 75 degrees.
