Question 4 2 pts A fireman leaned a 36-foot ladder against a building. If he placed the ladder 12 feet from the base of the building, what angle is formed between the ladder and the ground? 0 78.8 Degrees 70.5 Degrees O 77.2 Degrees O 80.4 Degrees O 75.5 Degrees « Previous

Respuesta :

x is the ladder ,x =36

y is the distance between ladder and wall y=12

z is the wall

we have in this triangle , only the hypotenuse(x) and the adjacent side

so,'

[tex]\cos \theta=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{12}{36}=0.33[/tex][tex]\theta=\cos ^{-1}(0.33)[/tex][tex]\theta=70\circ(approximately)[/tex]
