A 12 foot ladder leans against a building. The top of the ladder leans against the wall 10.5 feet from the ground. What is the angle formed by the ground and the ladder? Assume its a right triangle.

X=56 , im not sure how to get it but ive been researching this question as well

I think it's x=61 you have to do sinx=10.5/12 then you should get sinx=0.875. Once you get that inverse the sin [sin^-1(0.875)]. Plug this into the calculator and you should get x=61.04497. Just simplify it after that.

I did research on this question too, and I just followed the steps given and substituted my work into the steps. I hope this helps! If this is wrong, I apologize to anyone who has found this lol

To find the angle formed by the ground and the ladder, we can use trigonometry. We know that the ladder forms a right triangle with the ground and the wall. The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse, the distance from the ground to the wall is the adjacent side, and the distance from the ground to the ladder is the opposite side.

Let's call the angle formed by the ground and the ladder as θ. We can use the tangent function to find θ.

Tangent is defined as the opposite side divided by the adjacent side in a right triangle. In this case, the opposite side is the distance from the ground to the ladder, and the adjacent side is the distance from the ground to the wall.

So, we have:

tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent

tan(θ) = (distance from the ground to the ladder) / (distance from the ground to the wall)

tan(θ) = (12 ft - 10.5 ft) / 10.5 ft

tan(θ) = 1.5 ft / 10.5 ft

Now we can compute the value of θ using the inverse tangent function (also known as arctangent or tan^(-1)). So:

θ = arctan(1.5 ft / 10.5 ft)

Using a calculator, we find:

θ ≈ 8.1 degrees

Therefore, the angle formed by the ground and the ladder is approximately 8.1 degrees.

sin x = 10.5/12

so, x = ?
