(triangle)

Side = 34ft

bottom= 33ft

inside = 82 degrees

Hope the picture helps! I apologize for my handwriting, I tried to make the numbers more noticeable with pen.

Verified Answer :

If the bottom side is ab then bc is 8.18535277, which to the nearest tenth is 8.2

The graphic says find BC and it says BC = 33 feet
Anyway, assuming the ladder is 34 feet, and makes an 82 degree angle,
cosine 82 degrees = adjacent / hypotenuse
adjacent = cosine 82 degrees hypotenuse
adjacent = 0.13917 34
adjacent (or side BC) =



4.73178



feet

height (line AB) = sine (82 degrees) hypotenuse (34 feet)
height (line AB) = 0.99027 34
height (line AB) = 33.67 feet
