Question

HEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!


A ramp is 17 feet in length and covers a horizontal distance of 15 feet. It rises vertically 8 feet above the floor. What is the sine of the angle between the horizontal and the ramp?

A. 8/15

B. 15/8

C. 15/17

D. 8/17

Answer 1

\( \sf sin = \dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\)

The opposite here, will be the height of the ramp(8ft), and the hypotenuse is the length of the ramp(17ft).

So what's sine going to be?
