A slide 4.1 meters long makes

Question

an angle of with the
ground. To the nearest tenth
of a meter, how far above the
ground is the top of the slide?
(2 points)
35°

Answer 1

Using trigonometry, we can calculate the height of the top of the slide by using the sine function:

sin(35°) = opposite / hypotenuse
sin(35°) = h / 4.1

h = 4.1 * sin(35°)
h ≈ 2.4 meters

Therefore, the top of the slide is approximately 2.4 meters above the ground.
