the base is 48in.
OpenStudy (danjs):
Which one is angle A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the right angle?
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\sin(A) = \frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse }\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
I will assume angle A is the one at the base of the ramp, since you labeled the vertical side the opposite side.

You first have to calculate what the length of the hypotenuse is, using the pythagorean theorem...
\[(hypotenuse)^2=36^3+48^2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hypotenuse^2=46656+2304
=48960
sqrt48960
=221.3
OpenStudy (danjs):
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
I think i typed a 36^3 on accident..
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[hypotenuse = \sqrt{48^2+36^2} = 60\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok I thought that was weird lol.

ok sin(A)= 36/60?

@DanJS
OpenStudy (danjs):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait ok I'm not sure how to do that @DanJS
