A 15 foot ladder leans against the wall such that the distance between the base of the wall and the bottom of the ladder is 10 feet. When the person climbs to the top of the ladder, what is his height from the ground? (Round your answer to the nearest whole 1. height number) = 11 2. What would be the value for the angle of depression for a person at the top of the ladder looking down directly to the base of the ladder? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number)
