Question

ONLY write your answer as a number. You do not needto write the unit measurement.Round you answer to the nearest tenth.14. Max built a skateboarding ramp that is 21 inches high. The angle formed by the romp andthe ground is 32". What is the length of the ramp?

Answer 1

Let's take a look at the situation:

Since were looking at a right triangle, we can say that:

`\sin 32=(21)/(x)`

Solving for x :

`\begin{gathered} \sin 32=(21)/(x) \\ \rightarrow x\sin 32=21 \\ \rightarrow x=(21)/(\sin 32) \\ \Rightarrow39.6 \end{gathered}`

We get that the ramp is 39.6 inches long
