Question

How do we draw diagrams of elevated angles? What is the difference between a ladder is elevated at an angle of 60 degree and a ladder is elevated to an angle of 60 degree ?

Answer 1

Hi

Answer 2

Hello 😉

Answer 3

Basically,when we say a ladder is inclined at an angle it means that you have set it to that particular position..
Like let's suppose we have a ladder that is elevated at an angle of 60° it means that you have raised it to an angle of 60° with the horizontal ground..

Answer 4

Alright what about when the question says the ladder is elevated to an angle ?

Answer 5

Then,how do you think it can be made possible??

Answer 6

Just asking if you have some thought regarding the same...

Answer 7

Can't really think of the difference in the two yet :(

Answer 8

I am also scratching my head for that..
:)

Answer 9

Maybe that is for the vertical alignment..

Answer 10

There is no difference. The wording of math questions should not be mysterious. Clarity and simplicity in asking a question is a must.

Answer 11

`a ladder is elevated at an angle of 60 degree with reference to the horizontal ground`

sounds less ambiguous than saying

`a ladder is elevated at an angle of 60 degree`

Answer 12

You sound amazing...;)

Answer 13

Let me ask you a question.

What's the distance of moon ?

Answer 14

With reference to??

Answer 15

Cannot really think of an answer ! But I got your point ! I was just a bit confused if there is a difference between the two...thank you so much :)

Answer 16

Exactly! You should not rush to answer that question with out having clarity on the context.

Answer 17

To my knowledge, there is no difference.
If your teacher thinks otherwise, the phrasing of the question is unacceptable. It is her duty to remove the ambiguity by using more simpler words to phrase the question.

Answer 18

Okay I will ask her again ! Thank you so much :)

Answer 19

angle of elevation (by default) is measured from the horizontal up and angle of depression from the horizontal down.
