A ladder has to be leaned on a tall pole so the top of the pole can be reached. The height of the pole is 30 ft., and the ground distance from the foot of the ladder to the pole is 15 ft. Draw a diagram to model the problem.
What is the angle at which the ladder must be leaned to reach the top of the pole? Show all work and label the answer. Round to the nearest tenth, if needed.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

step-by-step explanation:

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )
