Makayla leans a 18-foot ladder against a wall so that it forms an angle of 64 degrees with the ground. What’s the horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary. Please help me, I don’t understand the problem!

Answer
31.12 in

Explanation
To get the length required, lets first find angle mF,
mF = 180 – (43 + 62) =75o
Now we can use the sin rule to find length DE.
a/sin⁡A =b/sin⁡B Where a and b are the length opposite to angle A and B respectively.
DE/sin75=22/sin⁡43
DE=(22 sin⁡75)/sin⁡43
DE=31.12 in
