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.

It lies in quadrant III. If we subtract 360 from 570, then we know that 570° is the same as 210°. Remember that quadrant I has 0-90, II had 90-180, III had 180-270, and IV has 270-360. Then, 570 lies in quadrant III because the corresponding angle, 210, lies in quadrant III between 180 and 270. Hope this helps. :)
