26. In the figure shown below, a ladder 15 feet long forms an angle of 56° with the level ground as it leans against the vertical side of a building. The distance along the building, in feet, between the ground and the top of the ladder is equal to which of the following expressions?

Answer and Explanation

Your Answer is

Correct Answer is H

Explanation

The height h from the ground to the ladder is the opposite side of the 56-degree angle of the triangle, and the hypotenuse is known to be 15. The trigonometric function formula sin56°=h/15 can be listed, so h=sin56°×15
