Question

Please Help and show work

A slide 4.1 meters long makes an angle of 35° with the ground. To the nearest tenth of a meter, how far above the ground is the top of the slide?

Answer 1

x is opposite of the angle and 4.1 is the hypotenuse therefore use sine
\[\sin (35) = \frac{x}{4.1}\]
\[4.1 \sin (35) = x\]

Answer 2

but idk how to do that

Answer 3

is that the answer
