Respuesta :
A 28-foot ladder is leaning against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 6 feet from the base of the house. Find the measure of the angle formed by the ladder and the ground, to the nearest degree.
Answer: 78°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question above, we can deduce that;
adjacent = 6 hypotenuse=28
cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse
cosθ = 6/28
cosθ = 0.214286
θ = arc cos(0.214286)
θ= 77.628
θ=78° to the nearest degree
