Isabella caries a box up a metal ramp into the back truck. The ramp is 3 meters long and the bottom makes a 32 degree angle with
1 answer:
Answer:
2.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the ramp, the ground and the back of the lorry to form a right triangle where the ramp is the hypotenuse and the distance from the back of the lorry is the adjacent side, x
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos32° = =
Multiply both sides by 3
3 × cos32° = x, hence
x ≈2.5 m

Height covered by the plane=h= 500 feet
Distance covered by the plane along the ground=d= 2 mile
Now, convert the mile into feet,
1 mile = 5280 feet
2 mile = 10560 feet
Now, use the formula
h= d tanθ
tanθ= h/d
tanθ= 500/10560
tanθ= 25/528
Take the tan⁻¹ on both side,
θ= tan⁻¹(25/528)
θ =2.71°
