The 4 meter ladder is reaching only 1.5 meters up the wall. how far is the base of the ladder from the wall? what is the angle the ladder makes with the ground?
(it's making a right triangle)
answers I need are
base & ø
Sin(x)=1.5/4=.375
Sin^-1(.375)=22.02 degrees-angle of the ladder.
D=distance of the ladder from the wall
4^2=1.5^2 + D^2
D^2=4^2 - 1.5^2=13.75
D=sqrt(13.75)
D=3.71 Meters-the base of ladder from the wall.
