Answer:

57.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

A 25 feet ladder leans against a building.

The ladder's base is 13.5 feet from the building.

The ladder, the wall of the building and the ground form a right-angled triangle of:

Hypotenuse = 25 feet

Base = 13.5 feet

We are to find the angle of elevation which the ladder makes with the ground (or rather the angle created by hypotenuse and base)

Let's say the angle = X°

According to a trigonometric equation;

cos X° = adjacent side ÷ hypotenuse = \frac{13.5}{25} = 0.54

cos ^{-1} X = 57.5=3° (Answer rounded up to nearest one decimal place).

∴ The angle of elevation = 57.3°

Find the value of x.
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

  155°

Step-by-step explanation:

The obtuse angle of the large (outside) triangle is the supplement of 60°, so is ...

  180° -60° = 120°

The angle x is the sum of the remote interior angles of that large triangle:

  x = 35° +120° = 155°

__

<em>Check</em>

The other acute angle in the smaller (left) right triangle is 90° -35° = 55°. Then the top acute angle in the larger (bottom, right) right triangle is ...

  180° -55° -60° = 65°

The other acute angle in that triangle is 90° -65° = 25°. It is supplementary to angle x. Hence angle x is 180° -25° = 155°, as above. (Note that x is also the sum of 90° and 65°, the remote interior angles of the nearest right triangle to x.)
