A ladder is leaning against a wall. The ladder has a known length of 3 m. Cassandra wishes to find the vertical height to which the ladder reaches but she has only 15 cm ruler. She measures a distance of 15 cm up the ladder and drops a piece of string to the ground. She measures the length of the string to be 10.6 cm.

From the information, determine the vertical height(in cm) to which the ladder reaches.

In physics, when an object travels at an angle, it is easier to break up the motion into a horizontal component and vertical component. The principles of physics can then be applied to both directions. Suppose an object travels with a velocity(speed) of 25 m/s at an angle of 40 degrees with the ground. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the object's velocity?
