What is a Right Triangle?

A triangle in which one of the angle measure is equal to 90 degree is called a right triangle.

The ladder forms a right triangle with the building and the ground,

The length of the triangle is 40 foot

The angle made by the ladder is 29.32 degree

By using Trigonometric Ratios

cos 29.32 = Base /  Hypotenuse

cos 29.32 = Base / 40

Base is the distance between the building and the ladder.

Base = 34.88 foot
