Question

HELP ME OUT! A 15 foot ladder rests against a tree on level ground and forms a 75° angle of elevation. Where is the correct location of the 75° angle? Select one:

a. Between the tree and the ground
b. Between the ladder and the tree
c. It is not possible to place a 75° angle on such a figure.

Answer 1

D. Between the ladder and the ground

Explanation:

The 75° is made by the ladder leaning on the tree. So the angle would be from the ground up to the ladder.
