Question

solving problems using trigonometric ratios
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:

First, identify the components: the ladder (25 ft) is the hypotenuse, the wall and ground form a right angle. The 18° angle is between the ladder and the wall, so the angle is placed at the intersection of the wall and the ladder, with the ladder labeled 25.

Answer:

B. The second diagram (with 18° at the wall-ladder intersection, ladder labeled 25)
