Question

Max built a skateboarding ramp that is 16 inches high. The angle formed by the ramp and the ground is 21 . What is the length of the ramp

Answer 1

41.68 or 42 (rounded)

Explanation:

Presuming you are working on right triangles, you can use the Soh Cah Toa theorems.

Because angle A = 21 and side a = 16 you can use Toa or
`A=(a)/(x)`

`21=(16)/(x)`

Plugged into a calculator, you get 41.68 and some change.

If this is NOT a right triangle question, please let me know so that I can revise my answer.
