Question

Ron wants to build a ramp with a length of a 14 ft and an angle of elevation of 26 degrees. The height of the ramp is about__________ feet.

Answer 1

theta = 26
adjacent = 14
need to find opposite

use tangent = opposite/adjacent

tan(26) = O/14

14tan(26) = Opposite

6.83 feet = opposite

Answer 2

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

sin 26°=y/14-------> y=14*sin 26°------> y=6.14 ft

the answer is
The height of the ramp is about 6.14 ft
