Question

the top of a giant slide is 30 ft off the ground. the slide rises at a 30 degree angle. to the nearest whole.food, what is the distance down the slide

Answer 1

The distance down the slide will be found using:
sin θ= opposite/ hypotenuse
θ=30°
opposite=30 ft
hypotenuse=h
hence:
tan 30=30/h
solving for h we get
h=30/tan 30
h=51.962 ft

answer: 51.962 ft
