Answer:
63°
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the value of x we will use the Pythagoras theorem
hyp² = opp²+adj²
Given
hyp is the length of the ladder = 22ft
Adjacent is the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall = 10ft
Angle of elevation = x
Using the SOH CAH TOA identity
Cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
Cos x = 10/22
Cos x = 5/11
x = arccos(5/11)
x = arccos(0.4545)
x = 62.96°
Hence the best estimate of x is 63°
