A slide 5.4 meters long makes an angle of 29 with the ground how far above the ground is the top of the slide?

5.4 sin 29 = 2.62 meters to 2 dp

Sin function gives you the ratio of opposite/hypotenuse, so if you imagine the slide as the hypotenuse you want to know the length of the opposite side ("how far above the ground"). Sin(angle) = length of opposite side / length of hypotenuse Sin(29) = length of opposite side / 5.4 m 5.4 sin(29) = length of opposite side
