Question

25.

Answer 1

Using the slope concept, it is found that the angle between the ladder and the floor will be of 33.69º.

What is a slope?

The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem, we have that:

• The angle is of 45º.

• The vertical distance is the height of h.

• The horizontal distance is of 3m.

Hence:

tan(45º) = h/3.

1 = h/3.

h = 3 m.

If the ladder slides 1 m down, the height will be of 2m, hence the angle will be given as follows:

$\tan{\theta} = \frac{2}{3}$

$\theta = \arctan{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}$

$\theta = 33.69^\circ$
