A ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle and exterior angles with the wall and the ground. What are the measures of the
two exterior angles? (These are (1) the ladder to the ground and (2) the ladder to the side of the house.) Justify your answer.

Make a change of coordinates:
The Jacobian for this transformation is
and has a determinant of
Note that we need to use the Jacobian in the other direction; that is, we've computed
but we need the Jacobian determinant for the reverse transformation (from
to 
. To do this, notice that
we need to take the reciprocal of the Jacobian above.
The integral then changes to
