Answer:
Answer: x = 71 degrees. Yes, the ladder meets safety standards
Discussion:
The problem describes a right triangle with hypotenuse 12, the side against the ground is 4, and the angle between those two sides is "x". For this triangle,
cosx = (side adjacent to angle) / hypotenuse
= 4 / 12
= 1/3
To find "x" take the inverse cosine of each side to find that :
x is approximately 70.52 degrees. That's 71 degrees rounded to the nearest degree.

- Radius of Earth; 6.4 x 100 meters = 640 meters
Clearly, the shape of the earth is a sphere. Thus, to determine the volume of the earth, we will use a formula that determines the volume of a sphere.
When we substitute the radius in the formula, we get;
Take π as 3.14
Simplify the numerator;
Divide the numerator by 3;
