Can someone please help me??
cant really tell .....
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?
we either need to work with tangent trig functions; or if you know the simple special triangles which they did use .... then this simplifies the question
