The area of the space under the slide is 2.10 square meters
<h3>The vertical distance</h3>The diagram in the question is added as an attachment
The vertical distance is represented by h.
So, we have:
sin(70) = h/2
Solve for h
h = 2 * sin(70)
Evaluate
h = 1.88 m
Hence, the vertical distance is 1.88 m
<h3>The length of the slide</h3>This is calculated using
sin(40) = h/Slide
This gives
sin(40) = 1.88/Slide
Solve for Slide
Slide = 1.88/sin(40)
Evaluate
Slide = 2.92
Hence, the length of the slide is 2.92 m
<h3>The area of the space under the slide</h3>This is calculated using:
A = 0.5 * h * slide * sin(∅)
Where
∅ = 90 - 40 = 50
So, we have:
A = 0.5 * 1.88 * 2.92 * sin(50)
Evaluate
A = 2.10
Hence, the area of the space under the slide is 2.10 square meters
