Answer:
angle between the ladder and the ground = 89.1°
Step-by-step explanation:
Go to the image below to get the visualisation for what's actually happening in the question and what they have asked for.
We are provided with adjacent which is 1.75 meters and hypotenuse with 110m and asked to find angle between the ladder and the ground.
Here, we will take angle between ground and ladder as x.
using sohcahtoa method,
[tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = cosx[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.75}{110} = cosx[/tex]
[tex]x = cos^{-1} (\frac{1.75}{110}) [/tex]
x = 89.1°
