Picture/draw a right triangle: \n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse is 40 ft and the vertical leg of the triangle is 32 ft. \n" ); document.write( "Now you can find the angle the ladder makes with the building using basic trigonometry(SOHCAHTOA). Since we know the opposite side(O) and Hypotenuse(H), we will use sine.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Create an equation......... \n" ); document.write( "Calculate the inverse sine to find x...... \n" ); document.write( "x is approximately 53.13 degrees. \n" ); document.write( " |
