A ladder that is 30 feet long needs to reach a 25 foot tall building. What angle is formed by the ladder and the ground if you place the ladder so it lies directly against the top of the building? Round your answer to the nearest degree.

56°

Step-by-step explanation:

25^2 + b^2 = 30^2

625+b^2 = 900

b^2 = sq 275

b^2 =16.6

acos(cos⁻¹) (16.6/30).

answer: about 22.67

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.
