Question

Elizabeth wants to use a sheet of fiberboard 27 inches long to create a skateboard ramp with a 17^{\circ}

Answer 1

The height of the ramp above the ground from its highest end is 7.9 inches.

What is height?

Height is the vertical distance between two points.

To calculate the height of the ramp above the ground, we use the formula below.

Formula:

• h = Lsin∅............. Equation 1

Where:

• h = Height of the ramp above the ground
• L = Length of the fiberboard
• ∅ = Angle of elevation from the ground

From the question,

Given:

• L = 27 inches
• ∅ = 17°

Substitute these values into equation 1

• h = 27×sin17°
• h = 7.89
• h ≈ 7.9 inches

Hence, the height of the ramp above the ground is 7.9 inches.
