A ladder leans against a wall. The angle between the ladder and the ground is 22 degrees more than the angle that the ladder makes with the wall. Find the measure of each angle.
.
Let x = the angle that the ladder makes with the wall
then
x+22 = angle between the ladder and the ground
.
x + x+22 + 90 = 180
x + x+22 = 90
2x+22 = 90
2x = 68
x = 34 degrees (the angle that the ladder makes with the wall)
.
angle between the ladder and the ground:
x+22 = 34+22 = 56 degrees
