Question

A ramp has an angle of elevation of 19 degrees, and a length of 35 ft. What is the height in inches of the ramp at its high end?

Answer 1

are you doing trig?

Answer 2

I suppose so, but I'm learning it in geometry.

Answer 3

well, you have an angle, and a SIDE, so, that'd imply the trig function SINE, or
\(
sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opp\ side}{hypothenuse} \implies opp\ side=sin(\theta)\times hypothenuse
\)

Answer 4

Thanks so much!
