I don't know if you need the answer to how long the ladder is or what degree the ladder and ground form so I am going to give you both.

The ladder is 58.31 inches
The degree is 59.04

If you have any question let me know

Answer:

angle made by the ladder with the ground is 59°.

Explanation:

Ladder AC is placed 30 inches from a wall

It touches the wall as a height of 50 meters from the ground.

We have to find ∠C.

From the right angle triangle ABC.

Tan C =
(50)/(30)

Tan C =
((5)/(3))

C =
Tan^(-1)((5)/(3))

= 59°

Therefore, angle made by the ladder with the ground is 59°.
