A slide 4.1 meters long makes an angle of 35 degrees with the ground. To the nearest tenth of a meter how far above the ground is the top of the slide.
Could someone please explain don't want just answer would like to know how to do the work.
2.4
Sin 35= x/4.1 so sin35 x 4.1 = x that is = to 2.352 round it and we have 2.4 Pls use this to study I thought it was so hard but once I learned it's not bad
bruh its 20 days later and STILL NO FREAKING ANSWER .... USELESSSSS
What's all the answers I'm stuck
2.4 meters
I got nothing
2.4 meters
omg some of you guys have been waiting 12 years for the answer to this T-T
To find the height of the slide, we can use trigonometry. In this case, we know the length of the slide (4.1 meters) and the angle it makes with the ground (35 degrees). We need to find the height of the slide.
The trigonometric function we can use in this situation is the sine function (sin). The sine function relates the ratio of the length opposite a given angle to the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side of a right triangle).
In this case, we can consider the slide as the opposite side of the angle, and the height as the hypotenuse. Therefore, we have:
sin(angle) = height / length of slide
To find the height, we can rearrange the equation:
height = length of slide * sin(angle)
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
height = 4.1 meters * sin(35 degrees)
To calculate the height, we need to find the sine of 35 degrees. You can use a scientific calculator or trigonometric tables to look up the value of sin(35 degrees).
Using a scientific calculator, we find that sin(35 degrees) ≈ 0.5736 (rounded to four decimal places).
Now, we can substitute this value into the formula:
height = 4.1 meters * 0.5736
Calculating this, we get:
height ≈ 2.349 meters
Therefore, the top of the slide is approximately 2.349 meters above the ground.
I answered that one for you last night,
did you not look at the solution?
