Q3 of 68 Page 9

A ladder of length 30 m is placed against a wall such that it just reaches the top of the 15 m high wall. At what angle is the ladder inclined to the ground?

Drawing the given problem so that we get a better understanding,



In the given diagram is the required angle as asked in the problem


We know that,







= 30˚


Therefore, the required angle the ladder makes with the wall is 30˚.
