Answer:

NO, the ladder is too steep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of ladder = 17 feet.  This is the hypotenuse.  

 Side a of a right triangle = 16.6    

To answer this, you need one of the trigonometric functions.      Opposite = 16.5    

hypotenuse = 17    

The function you need is the sine function.    

Sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse    

sin(theta) = 16.5 / 17    

Sin(theta) = 0.97059    

theta = sin-1(0.07059)    

theta = 76.07  

No the ladder is too steep.
