The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is 60° and the foot of the ladder is 4.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder is :_________?

A. 2.3 m
B. 4.6 m
C. 7.8 m
D. 9.2 m

Let AB be the wall and BC be the ladder. Then, ∠ACB = 60° and AC = 4.6 m. AC/BC = Cos 60° = 1/2 BC = 2 X AC = (2 X 4.6) m = 9.2 m.
