Answer:
4.4 ft
Explanation:
The model is a right triangle with the side opposite 35° being 2.5 ft and the hypotenuse being the length of board required.
let the length of board be x , then
sin35° =
=
![(2.5)/(x)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/qkmik4p7orvfqqa50j9t70c8qr88oxkwbj.png)
cross- multiplying gives
x × sin35° = 2.5 ( divide both sides by sin35° )
x =
≈ 4.4 ft ( nearest tenth )
