Question

A ten foot long ladder leans against a wall, with the top of the ladder being eight feet above the ground. What is the approximate angle that the ladder makes with the ground? A) 37° B) 47° C) 53° D) 60°

Answer 1

For this, we will use SOH CAH TOA.

Because the angle is facing the wall the leader is against, and we know the hypotenuse, we will use SOH (Sin = Opposite side / Hypotenuse)

Sin(x) = 8/10

When plugged into a calculator:

X = 53.13

So your answer is C

I hope this Helps!

Answer 2

The answer is C I do believe my good fellow matey
