    distance between the base of the ladder from the bottom of the building = 5.18ft

    Height of the building = 19.32ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The distance between the base of the ladder from the bottom of the building and the height of the building is given by

    d = Lcosx

    h = Lsinx

    Where L is the length of the ladder, d is the distance between the base of the ladder and the bottom of the building, h is the height of the building and x is the angle between the ladder and the ground.

    Given; x = 75° L = 20ft

    d = 20cos75 = 5.18ft

    h = 20sin75 = 19.32ft
