Aladder leaning against the side of a building touches the building at a point 12 meters from the ground. if the foot of the ladder is 18 meters from the base of the building, what is the slope of the ladder?

The slope of the ladder to the building is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the the slope of the ladder

- A ladder leaning against the side of a building touches the building

 at a point 12 meters from the ground

* That means the height of the ladder (h) from the ground is 12 m

- The foot of the ladder is 18 meters from the base of the building

* That means the horizontal distance (d) on the ground between the

  ladder and the building is 18 m

- The slope of the ladder (m) , the height of the ladder (h) and the

  horizontal distance on the ground from the base of the ladder to

  the base of the building (d) can form a right triangle

∵ The slope of the ladder = the vertical distance/horizontal distance

∵ The vertical distance h is 12 meters

∵ the horizontal distance d is 18 meters

∴ The slope of the ladder

∴ The slope of the ladder to the building is 2/3

e) none of the above because the measure of angle cba is 101°

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.
