Answer this for me, Please and Thank you! U_U A firefighter places a ladder against a building. The ladder forms a 47 degrees angle with the ground. What is the measure of the angle between the ladder and the building?

OpenStudy (lukebluefive):

The ladder forms a triangle with the building and the ground. The sum of the angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees. Assuming that the building and the ground form a right angle, the angle between the ladder and the building can found by subtracting 47 from 180.

\[\angle = 180 - 47\]
