10. A 50-ft ladder leans against a building so that the base of the ladder is 15 feet from the
building. What angle does the ladder make with the building?

By applying the trigonometry ratio, SOH, the angle that the ladder makes with the building is calculated as: 17.5°

Recall:

  • Trigonometry ratios that can be used to solve a right triangle are: SOH CAH TOA.
  • SOH represents: sin ∅ = Opp/Hyp
  • CAH represents: cos ∅ = Adj/Hyp
  • TOA represents: tan ∅ = Opp/Adj

The diagram attached below depicts the problem given.

∅ = x

Opp = 15 ft

Hyp = 50 ft

  • Thus, applying the trigonometry ratio, SOH, we have:

sin x = 15/50

x = [tex]sin^{-1}(15/50)[/tex]

x = 17.5°

In conclusion, by applying the trigonometry ratio, SOH, the angle that the ladder makes with the building is calculated as: 17.5°
