Question

a 25 - foot long ladder is propped against a wall at an angle of 18° with the wall. which diagram correctly represents this scenario?

Explanation:

The ladder is the hypotenuse of a right - triangle. It is 25 feet long and makes an 18 - degree angle with the wall. The wall and the ground form a right - angle. We need a diagram where the ladder (hypotenuse) is 25, and the angle between the ladder and the wall is 18 degrees.

Answer:

The second diagram from the top correctly represents the scenario as it shows a right - triangle with the hypotenuse (ladder) labeled 25 and the angle between the hypotenuse and the vertical side (wall) labeled 18 degrees.
