A firefighter is attempting to escape a burning building. If the window is of the man's apartment is 18 feet above the ground and the ladder is 25 feet long, what is the angle of elevation?

Relax

Respuesta :

Answer:

37.75⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the building = 18 feet (vertical height)

Height of the ladder = 25 feet (Hypotenuse)

We solve this using tan θ = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

therefore θ = tan⁻¹ ([tex]\frac{18}{25}[/tex])

θ (Angle of elevation) = 37.75⁰
