Question

A twelve-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the ladder reaches 8 ft. high on the wall, what is the angle the ladder forms with the ground to the nearest degrees?

Answer 1

Recall: SOHCAHTOA

`\begin{gathered} sin\theta=(8)/(12) \\ \\ \theta=sin^(-1)0.6667 \\ \theta=41.81^0 \\ \end{gathered}`

The final answer

`\theta=42^0`
