Question

Isabell is standing at the top of a waterslide that leads to a pool below. the angle of depression from top of the slide to the pool is 31.66°, and the slide is 46 feet long. how far is the top of the slide from the ground? round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answer 1

Top of the slide is 24 feet far.

Since we are given the length of the pool and the point, we know the point is the "point of discouragement from the best of the slide to the pool". The hypotenuse is 46 feet.

we know that,

                           sin θ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse

                                 $sine 31.66 = \frac{x}{46}$

                       x = 0.524877545 • 46

                       x = 24.14436706

                      x = 24

What is Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagorean theorem, or Pythagoras' theorem, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.
