Question

A 17ft ladder leans against the side of a house. The top of the ladder is 15 ft off the ground. Find x, the angle of elevation of the ladder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree

Answer 1

Answer:

SOHCAHTOA.

We are to use SOH in this question because we have the opposite which is 15 and the hypotenuse which is 17.

which will be Sin theta =15/17.

Sin theta =0.8823~1.

then Sin theta =1.

which is theta = (inverse of sin) sin^-1(1).

theta =90°.

Answer 2

Answer:x = theta =90°.
