Answer:
1.6m
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the blade is 3.2m
The angle which the blade makes is 30°
Assuming the path of the blade and the length it covers is a right-angled triangle,
The length of the blade is the hypothenus while the path at which it clears is the opposite of the triangle.
See attached document for better illustration.
Using SOHCAHTOA,
Sinθ = opposite / hypothenus
opposite = x
hypothenus = 3.2
θ = 30°
Sin30 = x / 3.2
X = 3.2sin30
X = 3.2 × 0.5
X = 1.6m
The path which the snow plough clears is 1.6m
