Answer:
Angle x = 60.1 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : height of the ladder is 15 ft that is the hypotenuse
The top of the ladder is 13ft off the ground.
That is the oppposite side of angle x
Since this forms a right angle triangle we use trigonometric ratios to find x
We know the opposite side and the hypotenuse
sin(x) = opposite / hypotenuse
[tex]sin(x) = \frac{13}{15}[/tex]
[tex]x = sin^{-1}(\frac{13}{15})[/tex]
x= 60.073565
Angle x = 60.1 degrees
