A ramp into a building forms a 6° angle with the ground. If the ramp is 8 feet long, how far away from the building is the entry
point of the ramp? Round the solution to the nearest hundredth.
1 answer:
Answer:
7.96 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Length of ramp L = 8 ft
Angle with the horizontal (ground) = 6°
Applying trigonometry;
With the length of ramp as the hypothenuse,
The horizontal distance d as the adjacent to angle 6°
Since we want to calculate the adjacent and we have the hypothenuse and the angle. We can apply cosine;
Cosθ = adjacent/hypothenuse
Substituting the values;
Cos6° = d/8
d = 8cos6°
d = 7.956175162946
d = 7.96 ft
The building is 7.96ft away from the entry point of the ramp.
