Answer:
65.38degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following
Length of ladder = 12foot = hypotenuse
Distance of the ladder from the wall = 5ft = adjacent
Required
Angle between the ground and the ladder theta
Using the SOH CAH TOA identity
Cos theta = adj/hyp
Cos theta = 5/12
Cos theta = 0.41667
theta = arccos(0.41667)
theta = 65.38 degrees
Hence the angle between the ground and the floor is 65.38degrees
