Question

A 32-foot tall ladder rests against a

vertical wall. If the top of the

ladder reaches a point 18 feet up

the wall, what angle does the

bottom of the ladder make with

the ground?

Answer 1

The angled form from the bottom of the ladder with the ground is 30°.

Here we have to find the angle formed from the bottom of the ladder make with the ground.

Data given:

The ladder rests on the wall and is of length 32 feet which is the hypotenuse.

The wall is of length 18 feet which is perpendicular.

Let Ф be the angle formed from the bottom of the ladder made with the ground

As we know that:

sinФ = perpendicular/ hypotenuse

       = 18/ 32

       = 1/2

sinФ = sin 30°

Ф = 30°

Therefore the angle is 30°.
