Answer:
The angle created between the ladder and tree is [tex]15.5^{0}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The required sketch is shown in the attachment to this answer.
Applying the appropriate trigonometric function to the question, we have;
Tan θ = [tex]\frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent side}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5}{18}[/tex]
= 0.2777777777
⇒ θ = [tex]Tan^{-1}[/tex] 0.2777777777
= 15.5241
= [tex]15.5^{0}[/tex]
Therefore, the angle created between the ladder and tree is [tex]15.5^{0}[/tex].
