The angle of the ladder inclined with respect to the horizontal after being moved a distance of 0.82 m closer to the building is 53.84°

cos θ = Adjacent side / Hypotenuse

θ_{1} = 47°

Hypotenuse = Length of ladder = 8.5 m

cos 47° = Adjacent side / 8.5

Adjacent side = Initial distance of base of ladder from the building = 5.8 m

Adjacent side 2 = Final distance of base of ladder from the building

Adjacent side 2 = 5.8 - 0.82 = 4.98 m

cos θ_{2} = Adjacent side 2 / Hypotenuse

cos θ_{2} = 4.98 / 8.5 = 0.59

θ_{2} = cos^{-1} ( 0.59 )

θ_{2} = 53.84°

The formula used above is one of trigonometric ratios. Trigonometric ratios can used only in a right angled triangle where one of the angles in at 90 degrees and the other two angles are less than 90 degrees.

Therefore, the angle of the ladder inclined with respect to the horizontal after being moved is 53.84°

Julli [10]

Answer:

It's true.

Explanation:

It's true. When we connect two resistors in parallel the current is divided between the two in such a way that the sum of the currents on each resistor should be equal to the current on that branch. By finding the equivalent resistance we can use Ohm's law to determine the voltage drop across the resistors. This voltage drop is the same for both, since they're connected in parallel.

Answer:

Angle of incidence = 20°

Angle of reflection = 20°

Explanation:

Applying,

The first Law of Refraction: The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence all lies in the plane.

From the diagram,

Angle of incidence = 90-70

Angle of incidence = 20°

From the law of reflection,

Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection

Therefore,

Angle of reflection = 20°
