Given that the slide is 4.3 m long and makes an angle of 31°, then to get how high the slide is above the ground we use trigonometry formula.
sin θ=opposite/hypotenuse
opposite=x=how high the slide is above the ground
hypotenuse=length of the slide=4.3 m
θ=31°
plugging the values in the formula and solving for x we obtain
sin 31=x/4.3
x=4.3×tan 31
x=4.3(0.6009)
x=2.58387
x~2.6 m
Hence we conclude that the top of the slide is approximately 2.6 m from the ground
The measures of the angles are 30, 60 and 90 degrees.
Explanation:
I assume the question should read "the measures of the ANGLES of the triangle are in the ratio 2:4:6.
If the angles are in the proportion 2:4:6, the measures of the angles have the same scale factor
x
. And, the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is
180
.

You take 12 * 6 = 72, then divide by two. 72 / 2 = 36 in squared
No the angle of each piece should be 60 degrees, if the three pieces were to be 25 each that would only add to 75
