A toddler’s playground has two slides on either side. The slide on the left is situated at a 45° angle to the ground and is 68 centimeters away from the base of the playground. The slide on the right is positioned at a 30° angle to the ground and is 112 centimeters away from the playground’s base. What is the total length of both slides on this playground rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what ???? it vanished

OpenStudy (swag):

i found it already

OpenStudy (swag):

i need the 1 at the top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

adjacent side / cosine of angle = length of hypotenuse.

OpenStudy (hoblos):

first slide = 68sqrt2=96.1 second slide = 112/cos30 = 129.3 total length= 225.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hence total length = (68/cos(45)) + (112/cos(30)) = 225.5

OpenStudy (hoblos):

lol i feel i've solved this same question here before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha. De ja vu. And I swear the name SWAG looks familiar.
