A ladder is placed against a tree. The bottom is located 5 feet from the base of the tree and the top of the ladder is 18 feet up the tree. What is the angle created between the ladder and tree? Include a sketch that shows all known information and clearly shows what you need to find. Show all work and give the answer rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree.

The angle created between the ladder and tree is .

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 =

         =

         = 0.2777777777

⇒ θ = 0.2777777777

      = 15.5241

      =

Therefore, the angle created between the ladder and tree is .

77

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 21%.
