What is sin θ?

Looking out from a vertex with angle θ, sin(θ) is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

According to question, A ladder leans against a building. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 70°. The top of the ladder is 25 ft from the ground.

Length of the ladder [tex]l[/tex] can be found by using

[tex]25=l sin70[/tex]°

⇒[tex]l=\frac{25}{0.9397} =26.6[/tex][tex]ft[/tex]

Hence, 26.6 ft is the length of the ladder.
