Answer:

2.996m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached diagram

Let the distance = x

x = adjacent

8m = hypotenuse

Therefore we use,

Cos 68 = x/8

Multiply both sides by 8

8 × cos 68 = x

x = 8 × cos 68

x = 8× 0.3746

x = 2.996m

x is approximately 3m

How far is the base of the ladder from the wall is 3m.

Distance

Cos 68=Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Hence:

Cos 68 = x/8

Multiply both sides by 8

8 × cos 68 = x

x = 8 × cos 68

x = 8× 0.3746

x = 2.996m

x=3m (Approximately)

Inconclusion how far is the base of the ladder from the wall is 3m.
