You are given a right triangle with the length of the horizontal side indicated, and the angle is also indicated.  Your job is to determine which of the trig functions would be most applicable / helpful in determining the height off the ground at which the cycle will leave the ramp.

mathmale · Answer

You have a right triangle here, with bottom side ("adjacent side") given, and the angle adjacent to that is also given.  Which trig function ties together this angle and this adjacent side and allows you to calculate the height off the ground of the motorcycle as it leaves the ramp?
