Question

Approximately how high above the ground is the truck?

Answer 1

1.75 meters

Explanation:

We will be using trigonometry to solve this problem.

From the angle, we see the side provided is the hypotenuse, and the side we are looking for is opposite the angle. Thus, we will use sin since sin uses opposite/hypotenuse.

Let's solve.

sin26 = x/4

sin26 * 4 = x

x = 1.75
