A ladder 12 m long is propped up against a building at an angle of 15°. How far up the wall does the ladder go?

The ladder can go as far as 3.1m
The given set up is. a triangle with the following parameters
Angle of elevation = 15 degrees
Hypotenuse = 12m
Required
Height of the building
Using the expression
sin theta = opp/hyp
sin 15 = h/12
h = 12sin15
h = 3.1m
Hence the ladder can go as far as 3.1m
