Question

Can i please have some actual help with this?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 286.01 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height of the ramp, H = 20 inches

Angle of elevation, $\theta=4^{\circ}$

We need to find the value of x. It can be solved using trigonometry as follow :

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}$

Where

P is perpendicular and B is base

So,

$\tan(4)=\dfrac{20}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{20}{\tan(4)}\\\\x=286.01\ in$

So, the value of x is equal to 286.01 inches.
