Question

What is the measure of the angle that the slide makes with the ground, x, to the nearest degree?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 36°

Explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the sine ratio to find x

sin x =
`(opposite)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(8.5)/(14.5)`, hence

x =
`sin^(-1)`(
`(8.5)/(14.5)`) = 36° ( nearest degree )
