Let's make a reference triangle with the x and y axes as the legs of the right triangle. The hypotenuse is the slope where the angle of elevation is based. Given an angle of elevation of 53 degrees, the remaining angle is 37 degrees. Use sine law to calculate for the hypotenuse:
Okay so you have 10/12 marbles (ten out of twelve). Both 10 and 12 can be divided by 2, right? So divide both of those by 2 and you get 5/6. That’s your answer. Hope this helps!
