Answer: The top of the Crane is 31 feet above the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
When it is fully extended, the crane arm forms a 30 degree angle with a line parallel to the ground. This means that a right angle triangle is formed. The length of the Crane's arm represents the hypotenuse. The horizontal distance represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle. The distance, h of the top of the Crane from the ground represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
To determine h, we would apply
the Sine trigonometric ratio.
Sin θ, = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,
Sin 30 = h/62
h = 62Sin30
h = 62 × 0.5
h = 31 feet
3/5*10 is the same as 3/5*10/1 and it should be 30/5 which is the same as 6.
So, 3/5*10 is 6
