A local park is adding a new 14 ft long slide to the playground. The vertical height of the slide is h. The distance from the bo
ttom of the stairs to the bottom of the slide needs to be 15 ft. Also, due to safety reasons, the slide must form a 30° angle with the ground, as shown below.
a. What is the height h of the slide? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
b. To the nearest degree, what angle x will the stairs form with the ground?

Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is a rectangular prism, so the formula would be Volume = length x width x height.
length = 6 cm
width = 2 cm
height = 2 cm
If you plug everything you have in the problem into the volume equation, you would get : Volume = 6 cm x 2
cm x 2
cm.
Without a calculator, I would first turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
- 6
=
- 2
Volume = x
x
When you multiply everything together you should get .
As a mixed number, that would be 40
