Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.

leg of triangle=  height of ladder = 15 feet

The hypotenuse of the formed triangle  = length of ladder = L

base = 6 feet

What is length of ladder?

L^2 = 15^2 + 6^2 = 225 + 36 = 261

L = root(261)  = 16.155 feet

Consider △ABC. Triangle A B C is shown. Angle B C A is a right angle. The length of hypotenuse A B is 13, the length of B C is 1
bija089 [108]

Answer:

<em>22.62°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering △ABC.  If angle B C A is a right angle, then;

m<BCA = 90 degrees

Given also

AB = 13

BC = 12

AC = 5.

According to SOH, CAH TOA;

Sin <B = AC/AB

Cos <B = BC/AB

Substitute the given values

Sin B = 5/13

B = arcsin(5/13)

B = 22.62

Cos B = 12/13

B = arccos (12/13)

B =22.62

<em>Hence the angles that make sinB = cosB is 22.62°</em>
