Answer:
1A. = 68.96 degrees.
2A. = YES
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply:
sin (angle ) = opposite side / hypotenuse
Since the triangle formed is a right triangle ( see attachment), the hypotenuse is the length of the ladder (the longest side), and the opposite side to the angle is the distance between the top of ladder and the ground.
Replacing with the value given
sin x = 14/15
Solving for x
x = arcsin 14/15
x = 68.96 degrees. (1A)
Since the angle is lower than 75 degrees, the ladder is safe the way is positioned.
