- A ladder 27 feet long leans against a wall and the foot of the ladder is sliding away at a constant rate of 3 feet/sec. Meanwhile, a firefighter is climbing up the ladder at a rate of 2 feet/sec. When the firefighter has climbed up 6 feet of the ladder, the ladder makes an angle of л/3 with the ground. Answer the two related rates questions below. (Hint: Use two carefully labeled similar right triangles.) (a) If h is the height of the firefighter above the ground, at the instant the angle of the ladder with the ground is л/3, find dh/dt= feet/sec. (b) If w is the horizontal distance from the firefighter to the wall, at the instant the angle of the ladder with the ground is л/3, find dw/dt= feet/sec.arrow_forwardTwo cars start moving from the same point.
