Question

As a ladder is raised the height increases as the angle increases. Write the function and graph for

O=0 to 90°

Answer 1

If the ladder length is L (constant) and y represents the height of a point on a wall that the top of the ladder attains, then the angle of elevation is θ.

 

y / L = sin θ so y = Lsinθ ... y is the dependent variable, theta is the independent variable.
