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 64 centimeters away from the base of the playground. The slide on the right is positioned at a 30° angle to the ground and is 106 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? Type the numeric answer only in the box below.

Numerical Answers Expected!

Answer 1

use cosine:
\[\cos 45 = 64/h\]
\[h = 64/\cos 45\]
for the second slide:\[\cos30 =106/h'\]
\[h' =64/\cos30\]
total length =h+h'
can you get it now?

Answer 2

hold on

Answer 3

sorry, the\[h' = 106/\cos30\]
