FAN AND MEDAL

Jim is designing a seesaw for a children's park. The seesaw should make an angle of 45° with the ground, and the maximum height to which it should rise is 1 meter, as shown below:

Answer 1

What is the maximum length of the seesaw?

1 meter
1.4 meters
2 meters
0.5 meters

Answer 2

Answer 5

Answer 6

is it clear

Answer 7

Ok I get it so far

Answer 8

Wouldnt we divide 45 by 1?

Answer 9

@JupitersRing01 Can you help?

Answer 10

Sure! Let me check it out

Answer 11

I'm kind of going to wing this one. Okay, we know that 45 degrees is half if 90 degrees. If the seesaw was at 90 degrees, it would go straight up 1 meter. At 45 degrees, it would go up one unit for ever unit it went out. Knowing this, the only clear answer would be A, one meter. This was mostly just some hacksaw math, but I hope I could help! :D

Answer 12

Wait, I believe that was incorrect.

Answer 13

i think its 1.4

Answer 14

We needed to find the hypotenuse of the seesaw *facepalm* Sorry about that.

Answer 15

It's 1.4, you're right.

Answer 17
