Question

A riding lawnmower can drive up a 27º incline. In order for a ramp designed to reach a truck bed that is 3 feet above the ground to have a 27º incline, how long should the ramp be?

Answer 1

Sin is Opposite over Hypotenuse

So: Sin[27]=3/x

What is x?

Answer 2

it's definitely 27

Answer 3

Thinker1, where are you heading?

Answer 4

yes but i/you have to use a calculator to get it

Answer 5

Just plug it into a calculator and solve it.

Answer 6

You want to figure out the exact value of the Sin[27]?

Answer 7

... Let me know when you are done.

Answer 8

the answer choices are
a. 3.37
b. 5.89
c. 6.61
d. 9

Answer 10

How does any of this solve the original problem

Answer 11

The original problem is 3.37 (a).

I didn't even bother checking your work. I just know checked you answer.

Answer 12

Thanks

Answer 13

That is untrue.

Answer 14

What? I can't understand half of that. I have no idea why it's untrue. I just know that that doesn't equal 1.

I want you to stop working on this problem because it isn't worth your time.

Answer 15

I can easily see a basic math problem involving a random angle.

Answer 16

No.

I'm saying that Tan[27]+Tan[18] all over 1-Tan[27]Tan[18] doesn't equal 1.

Answer 17

Because why you "smash it on a calc" it doesn't equal.

Answer 18

when*

Answer 19

Mathematica does it pretty well.

Answer 20

Yes.
