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 = 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 = Adjacent side 2 / Hypotenuse
cos θ = 4.98 / 8.5 = 0.59
θ =
( 0.59 )
θ = 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°

Answer:
The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°
Explanation:
According to Snell's Law,
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n
n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)
Note that from trigonometric relations,
Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁
n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁
(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1
tan θ₁ = 1
θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°
