The length of the ramp calculated using Pythagoras is approximately 350 cm
From the diagram attached :
- Height of ramp = opposite = 225 cm
- Angle of inclination, θ = 40°
Using Pythagoras ; the length of the ramp can calculated as follows :
Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus
Sin 40° = 225 / hypotenus
Cross multiply
Hypotenus × 0.6427876 = 225
Divide both sides by 0.6427876 to isolate the hypotenus
Hypotenus = 225 / 0.6427876
Hypotenus = 350.03786 cm
Therefore, the length of the ramp which is the hypotenus is approximately 350 cm
