Problema Solution
A 15 m pole is leaning against a wall. The foot of the pole is 10 m from the wall. Find the angle the pole makes with the ground.
Answer provided by our tutors
The cosine of the angle 'x' is equal to 10/15.
cos(x) = 10/15
x = arccost(10/15)
x = 48.19 degrees
The angle the pole makes with the ground is 48.19 degrees.
