A ladder that is 30 feet long leans against the side of a house. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 80°. Find the height from the top of the ladder to the ground. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to analyse the question to figure out what we need to do. The question is saying that a line is parallel to the y-axis. We know that the y-axis goes up and down, meaning that our line should be pointing up and down crossing the point (2,-7). In order to find where the line is placed, we would have to look at the x-axis to figure out where it is. Using the info provided we could see that the line has to pass (2,-7), and the x for that point is 2. Using all the info we have concluded we know that the equation of the line is x=2.
