We have been given that steel loading ramps are used to load a lawn mower onto a truck bed 37.5 inches above the ground. The ramp make a 30° angle with the ground.
We can see from our attachment that ramp and truck bed forms a right triangle with ground. The truck bed is opposite side and length of ramp is hypotenuse of our given angle.
Since we know that Sine relates the opposite and hypotenuse of a right triangle, so we will use Sine to solve for L.
Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,
The LCM of 24 and 54 is 216. To find the least common multiple of 24 and 54, we need to find the multiples of 24 and 54 (multiples of 24 = 24, 48, 72, 96 . . . . 216; multiples of 54 = 54, 108, 162, 216) and choose the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 24 and 54, i.e., 216.
