Question

What is the measure of the angle that the slide makes with the ground, x, to the nearest degree? 28° 36° 54° 62°

Answer 1

B. 36 degrees

I just did the assignment

Answer 2

Answer: 36°

Explanation:

In a right triangle, the trigonometric functions can be expressed as:

`sin\alpha =(OS)/(H) \\cos\alpha =(AS)/(H)`

where
`\alpha` is one of the angles, OS and AS are the opposite side and the adjacent side respectively, and H is the hypotenuse.

In this case, we have the data for the opposite side to the angle that we want to find, so we're going to use the
`sin(x)`:

`sin(x)=(8.5)/(14.5)\\ x=arcsin((8.5)/(14.5) )\\x=35.88`

Rounded to the nearest degree:

x = 36°

So, the angle that the slide makes with the ground is approximately 36°.
