Amira leans a 16-foot ladder against a wall so that it forms an angle of 66 degrees with the ground. What's the horizontal distance between the base of the ladder and the wall? Round to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

x/16ft = cos(66) x = 16cos(66) = 6.51 ft., distance from the ladder's base to the wall. ANSWER: 6.51 ft.
