Answer:

B) 23,.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It forms a right triangle.

We use the trigonometric ratio of cos to find the answer.

cos = adjacent /Hypotenuse

Here hypotenuse is the length of the ladder and adjacent side represent the ladder toughs the wall from the ground.

cos 18 = adjacent / 25

adjacent = 25*cos18

adjacent = 23.8 feet
