Answer:
71.60ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
The question above requires us to use find the relationship between the angle and the length of the slide.
To solve this question, it is pertinent to get the diagram correctly so as to get the answer right.
See attached document for better illustration.
From the diagram,
We have the value of the opposite side or the triangle, and the angle of depression.
Using SOHCAHTOA,
Tanθ = opposite / adjacent
θ = 31.66°
Opposite = 46ft
Adjacent = x
Tanθ = opp / adj
Tan31.66 = 46 / x
X = 46 / tan31.66
X = 46 / 0.6166
X = 71.60ft
The height of the slide is 71.60ft
