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( "Create an equation.........\"sin+%28x%29=%2832%2F40%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Calculate the inverse sine to find x......\"sin%5E-1%2832%2F40%29=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "x is approximately 53.13 degrees.
