Asked by Ian

Ai Mi wants to use a sheet of fiberboard 2424 inches long to create a skateboard ramp with a 15, degrees15

angle of elevation from the ground. How high will the ramp rise from the ground at its highest end? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch if necessary.

The vertical rise equals the board length times sin(15°).

If the board is 24 in long:
h = 24·sin(15°) ≈ 24·0.258819 = 6.2117 in → 6.2 in (to the nearest tenth).

If the board really is 2424 in long:
h = 2424·sin(15°) ≈ 2424·0.258819 = 627.3786 in → 627.4 in.

Which board length did you mean?
