Question

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 52 centimeters away from the base of the playground. The slide on the right is positioned at a 30° angle to the ground and is 98 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?

Answer 1

i have no idea O______O

Answer 2

is it area or perimeter

Answer 3

we have to find

Answer 4

you have to find the total length of both slides on this playground rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Answer 5

tan 30 = x/98 and
tan 45 = x/52
Plug both of those into your calculator and then add them.

Answer 6

The length of the slide is the sum of the two hepotenuses
52/Cos 45 degrees +98/Cos 30

Answer 7

im confused...

Answer 8

*hypotenuses
