The equation shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, t, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, a, in astronomical units, au. if planet y is twice the mean distance from the sun as planet x, by what factor is the orbital period increased?

51.3 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Trig Ratio to solve for theta aka the angle formed between the ;adder and the ground.

So we have the hypotenuse = 24ft and the adjacent = 15ft so I am going to use the cos ratio.

cos ∅ = a/h

rearrange for theta

∅ = cos -1 ( a/h)

now sub in the information

∅ = 51.3178

now round to the nearest tenth

∅ = 51.3 degrees

write your therefore statement

therefore, the angle between the ladder and the ground is 51.3 degrees.
