A ladder with length of 24 metres is placed against the wall at an angle of elevation of \( \Large 30 ^{\circ} \). Then the height of the building is

A) 18 mts.
B) 24 mts.
C) 12 mts.
D) 16mts.

Correct Answer:



C) 12 mts.

Description for Correct answer:

PR is the ladder = 24 mts.

PQ = The height of the building = h mts.

\( \Large \sin 30 = \frac{h}{24} \)

\( \Large \frac{h}{24} = \frac{1}{2} \)

\( \Large h = \frac{24}{2} = 12 mts. \)

The height of the building is 12 mts.
