Answer:

  72.5° ≈ 73°

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder length is the hypotenuse of the right triangle that has the distance from the building as its base and the height up the building as the height of the triangle. The given dimensions are those of the side adjacent to the angle and the hypotenuse.

The appropriate trig relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(angle) = 6/20

The inverse cosine function (arccos) is used to find the angle from its cosine.

  angle = arccos(6/20) ≈ 72.54°

The angle is 72.5° rounded to tenths, or 73° rounded to degrees.

My estimated answer for 1 is x=1.59 or x=-1.26 and my exact answer is (in word form) x= 1 plus or minus the square root of 73 over 6. my estimated answer for 2 is x=-0.34 or x=1.74 and my exact answer (in word form) is x= -7 plus or minus the square root of 109 over -10. I took a picture of my work and hopefully you can read it
