To solve the problem we must know the concept of trigonometric functions. The length of the ladder is 23.1822 ft.

What are the basic Trigonometric functions?

The basic trignometric fuctions are,

$\rm Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

where perpendicular is the side of the triangle which is opposite to the angle, and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90° angle.

Given to us

The angle made by the ladder with the ground, θ = 75°

The foot of the ladder is 6 feet from the base of the wall.

As we know that the length between the ladder is 6 feet from the base of the wall, therefore, it is the base of the triangle, while the ladder makes 75° with the ground.

Substitute the values of the trigonometric function of Cos,

$Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Cos \theta = \dfrac{\text{Distance between the base of the ladder and wall}}{\text{Length of the ladder}}\\\\\\Cos (75^o )=\dfrac{6}{\text{Length of the ladder}}\\\\\\Base = 23.1822\ ft$

Hence, the length of the ladder is 23.1822 ft.
