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:

1. The ladder length is 25 feet, so the hypotenuse (ladder) must be labeled 25. This eliminates the first and third diagrams.
2. The angle of 18° is between the ladder and the wall, so the angle must be placed at the intersection of the vertical wall and the ladder. This matches the second diagram.

Answer:

B. The second diagram (ladder labeled 25, 18° angle between ladder and vertical wall)
