Answer: The angle that the slide makes with the ground x = 36°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of slide = 14.5 ft

Length of ladder = 8.5 ft

Angle of elevation be 'x'.

We will use "Sine rule ":

\sin x=\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}=\frac{8.5}{14.5}\\\\\sin x=0.5862\\\\x=\sin^{-1}(0.5862)\\\\x=35.88\\\\x\approx 36^\circ

Hence, the angle that the slide makes with the ground x = 36°.
