Aten foot long ladder leans against a wall, with the top of the ladder being eight feet above the ground. what is the approximate angle that the ladder makes with the ground? a) 37° b) 47° c) 53° d) 60°

The answer is C I do believe my good fellow matey

For this, we will use SOH CAH TOA.

Because the angle is facing the wall the leader is against, and we know the hypotenuse, we will use SOH (Sin = Opposite side / Hypotenuse)

Sin(x) = 8/10

When plugged into a calculator:

X = 53.13

So your answer is C

I hope this Helps!
