Answer:

sin-¹(10/11)

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the building is 100 ft and the ladder is 110ft long .We can imagine this situation as a right angled ∆. For figure refer to the attachment .

  • We can use ratio sine here. Let the angle of elevation be theta.

<u>In </u><u>∆</u><u> </u><u>ABC </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

=> sinθ = p/h

=> sinθ = 100ft / 110 ft

=> sinθ = 10/11

=> θ = sin -¹ ( 10/11) .

<h3><u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>angle</u><u> of</u><u> elevation</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>sin </u><u>-</u><u>¹</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u>. </u><u> </u></h3>
