Answer:

Height of slide = 5 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of slide = 12 feet

Angle of depression = 25°

Find:

Height of slide

Computation:

Length of slide = Hypotenuse

Height of slide = Perpendicular

Using trigonometry function;

Sin θ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse

Sin 25 = Height of slide / 12

0.422 = Height of slide / 12

Height of slide = 12 x 0.422

Height of slide = 5.064

Height of slide = 5 feet (Approx.)

The following triangles are similar. Find side AB.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up ratios of corresponding sides. x+2 is to 6 as 2 is to 3:

$\frac{x+2}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

Now cross multiply to get

3(x + 2) = 12 and

3x + 6 = 12 so

3x = 6 and

x = 2. That means that side AB, x + 2, is 2 + 2 which is 4
