    Well we know that the 9.0 meter ladder is the hypotenuse And it is a right triangle with base of 1.5 meters. we have the adjacent and the hypotenuse. which is cosine. So:

    cos (a) = adjacent/hypotenuse

    cos (a) = 1.5/9.0

    cos (a) = 1 / 6

    a = cos^-1 (1 / 6)

    a = 80.4 degrees
