If a loading ramp is placed next to a truck, at a height of 2 feet, and the ramp is 23 feet long, what angle does the ramp make with the ground? Round your answer to one decimal place. The ramp inakes an angle of Number degrees with the ground.

Respuesta :

ok

height = 2 ft

ramp is 23 ft long

angle = ?

To solve this problem use trigonometric functions.

The trigonometric function that relates the opposite side and the hypotenuse is sine.

then,

sin 0 = 2/23

Simplification

sin 0 = 0.087

Result

0 = angle = 4.99 or rounding = 5°
