    applying trigonometry

    base = 30inches

    height = 50inches

    angle between ladder and ground = 59.04°

    for the length of the ladder ...

    sin59.04 = opposite side : hypotenuse

    sin59. 04 = 50inches : hypotenuse

    0.8575 = 50 inches : hypotenuse

    cross multiply;

    hypotenuse = 50inches : 0.8575

    the length of the ladder = 58.309inches
