Question

What is the measure of the angle that the slide makes with the ground, x, to the nearest degree?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the sine ratio to find x

sin x = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{8.5}{14.5}$, hence

x = $sin^{-1}$($\frac{8.5}{14.5}$) = 36° ( nearest degree )
