Detailed Solution

According to the diagram,
Question Image 𝐵𝐶 is the distance from the wall = 3.5 𝑚. And, let 𝐴𝐶 be the ladder with length = 𝑥 𝑚.
The ladder makes an angle of 60 with the ground. Therefore, 𝑐𝑜𝑠 60 = 𝐵𝐶
𝐴𝐶
1 = 3.5
2 𝑥
⇒ 𝑥 = 3.5 × 2
⇒ 𝑥 = 7 𝑚
Therefore, the length of the ladder is: 𝐴𝐶 = 𝑥 = 7 𝑚.
