Question

1) A 30-ft. ladder leans against a wall so that the base of the ladder

is 10 ft. from the base of the wall. What angle does the ladder
make with the ground?
A) 70.5

B) 19.5

C) 18.4

D) 33.3

Answer 1

A) 70.5

Explanation:

cos x = adjacent side/ hypotenuse

cos x = 10/ 30

cos x = 0.3

cos 70 = 0.3420

cos 71 = 0.3256

x = 70.5
