Answer:
It is safe
Step-by-step explanation:
Using trigonometry :
Cosθ = adjacent / hypotenus
Hypotenus = length of ladder = 12 feets
Adjacent = distance between ladder and wall = 3 feets
Cosθ = 3 /12
Cosθ = 0.25
θ = cos^-1(0.25)
θ = 75.522°
To be safe ladder must be between (70 - 85)°
Sijce ladder is at an elevation of 75.22° ; then it is safe.
