Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 27 degrees (nearest degree)

(b) 17.9 m  (to one decimal place)

Step-by-step explanation:

Wow, that's along ladder, perhaps for the firemen!

From diagram,

(a)

sin(x) = 9 / 20 = 0.45

x = arcsin(0.45) = 26.74 degrees

(b)

height of wall ladder reaches

h = 20*cos(x) = 20*cos(26.74) = 17.86 m
