A 17 ft ladder leans against the side of a house. The top of the ladder is 14 ft off the ground. Find X, the angle of elevation of the ladder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer 1

Answer:

This is law of sines

Answer is 55.4

Step-by-step explanation:

sinx/14 = sin90/17

17sinx=14sin90

Divide 17 from both

sinx = 14sin90/17

sinx = .8235

x=sin^-1(0.8235)

55.4
