Question

A slide 5.4 meters long makes an angle of 29 with the ground. How far above the ground is the top of the slide?

Answer 1

Assuming this a straight inclined ramp of a slide:

With the given info, you basically have the following triangle, in which you must solve for \(x\):

Right away, you have the following relation:
\[\sin29^\circ=\frac{x}{5.4}\]
