Answer:

23.85 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Length of ladder, L = 45 feets

Angle formed by ladder and ground, θ = 32°

Using trigonometry :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Opposite = h

Hypotenus = 45

Sin 32 = h / 45

0.5299192 * 45 = h

23.846366 = h

Hence, height of ladder = 23.85 feets
