Answer:

78.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for the above question, using the formula for the Trigonometric function of Cosine

cos θ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Adjacent = The distance between the house and the base of the ladder = 4 feet

Hypotenuse = Length of the Ladder = 20 feet

Hence,

cos θ = 4/20

θ = arc cos(4/20)

θ = 78.463040967°

Approximately = 78.5°

Therefore, the angle that the ladder makes with the ground is 78.5°
