A ladder is resting against a wall, The angle between the foot of the ladder and the wall is $45^\circ$ and the foot of the ladder is 6.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder(in m)is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
⇒ cos\({45}^\circ\) = \(\frac{6.6}{AC}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{√2}\) = \(\frac{6.6}{AC}\)
⇒ AC = 6.6 x \(\sqrt {2 }\)
Therefore, length of ladder is 6.6 x \(\sqrt {2 }\)
