Question

A ramp to a building has a height of 4 feet and the angle of elevation is 33 defrees. How long is the ramp?

Answer 1

Height=4 ft
angle=33 degrees
My tip first is to draw it out. Draw an acute angle opening up to a building forming a triangle. Inside of the vertex of the acute angle is the degree 33 and the height of the building is 4 ft. So, use trig! Do you have a calculator? Opposite over hypotenuse is Sine. (SOH CAH TOA). (4)/(sin(33)). which equals 7.34 ft as your height! Hope this helped!
