Question

Plz help me ASAP The top of a ladder leaning against a building reaches a point on the building which is 29 feet above the ground. If the base of the latter is 7 feet from the building what is a measure of the angle that the latter makes with the level ground to the nearest degree

Answer 1

Explanation:

Soh Cah Toa

(when working with pythag and trig it is best to draw a diagram)

We are going to be using Tan because we are working with the Opp and and Adj

Tan θ =
`(o)/(a\\)`

Tan θ =
`(29)/(7)`

θ = Tan⁻¹ (
`(29)/(7)`)

θ = 76.43°

θ ≈ 76°

Worded question = Worded answer

The angle that the ladder makes with the level ground to the nearest degree is 76°.
