The image is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

x = 56.44°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image, we can see that this is a right angle triangle which has opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse as sides. Since we want to find the angle x, thus, we can make use of trigonometric ratios.

From the attached image, the side opposite to angle x is 10ft and the hypotenuse is 12 ft.

From trigonometric ratios, we know that, sin x = opposite/hypotenuse

So, sin x = 10/12

x = sin^(-1) (10/12)

x = sin^(-1) 0.8333

x = 56.44°

The measure of the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the ladder is 68.73 degrees

<h3>Angle of elevation and depression</h3>

From the question given, we have the following parameters

Base of the building = 7feet

Height of the building = 18 feet

Required

angle of elevation

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tanФ = opp/adj

tanФ = 18/7

Ф = 68.73 degrees

Hence the measure of the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the ladder is 68.73 degrees
