    48.6°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The relation between the side of a right triangle opposite the angle, the hypotenuse, and the angle is given by ...

    Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

    sin (angle) = (15 ft) / (20 ft)

    angle = arcsin (15/20) ≈ 48.6°

    The angle with the ground at the base of the ladder is about 48.6°.
