Answer:
this question is missing something
Answer:
Yes, a ratio can be simplified.
Step-by-step explanation:
An example of this is 5:10, where it can be simplified down to 1:2.
Assuming the house is parallel to the ground, your triangle is made up by the house, the ground, and the ladder. Using sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse on the angle 70 degrees, you would have sin(70) = 20/x (because 20 is the side opposite of the angle connecting the ladder and the ground)
--> simplify sin(70) * x = 20 --> x = 20 / sin(70
--> substitute (and make sure your calculator in in degrees) x= 21. 284
By using trigonometric relations, we will see that x = 9.97°.

How to find the missing angle?</h3>
First, we need to find the bottom cathetus of the smaller triangle, we will use the relation:
Tan(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus).
Where:
- θ = 26°
- Adjacent cathetus = k
- Opposite cathetus = 55ft.
Replacing that we get:
Tan(26°) = 50ft/k
Solving this for k, we get:
k = 55ft/tan(26°) = 112.8 ft
Now, we can see that the longer triangle adds 200ft to this cathetus, so now we will have:
- angle = x
- opposite cathetus = 55ft
- adjacent cathetus = 112.8ft + 200ft = 312.8ft.
Then we have:
Tan(x) = (55ft/312.8ft)
Using the inverse tangent function in both sides, we get:
x = Atan(55ft/312.8ft) = 9.97°
