A12-foot high ladder reaches a tree limb when it leans at a 36 degree angle with the ground. approximately how far away is the base of the ladder from the tree trunk base?

Look at the picture.



The base of the ladder is approximately 9.708 feet from the tree trunk base.

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
