re for Question 1: of 5 points)
Sandy has a ladder that is 16.5 ft long. He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall so that the top
the ladder is 15.9 ft above the ground. For safety reasons, he wants the angle the ladder makes with th
ground to be no greater than 76°. Will the ladder be safe at this height? Show your work and draw a diagram
to support your answer.

There are six trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), cosecant (cosec), and secant (sec). In geometry, trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the sides and angles of a right-angled triangle. Therefore, trig ratios are evaluated with respect to sides and angles.

According to question

Sandy has a ladder whose length = 16.5 feet

He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall 15.9 feet above the ground.

And he wants the angle the ladder makes with the

ground to be < 76°.

As Perpendicular = 15.9 feet

and Hypotenuse = 16.5

Sin Ф = [tex]\frac{Perpendicular }{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

Sin Ф = [tex]\frac{15.9}{16.5}[/tex]

Sin Ф = 0.9636

Therefore, Ф ≈ 74.49 (approx.)

That means it is safe .

Hence, The ladder will be safe at this height as it is not greater than 76° .
