Tyrese is building a ramp up to his home. He knows the height of the ramp is 2 feet. If the angle of elevation of the ramp is 20°, how long does the ramp have to be? 5.81 is not it

Answer 1

To find the length of the ramp, we can use trigonometry.

The length of the ramp can be found using the formula:

Length of ramp = Height / sin(angle of elevation)

Plugging in the values:
Length of ramp = 2 feet / sin(20°)
Length of ramp = 2 feet / sin(20°)
Length of ramp ≈ 5.81 feet

Therefore, the length of the ramp needs to be approximately 5.81 feet.
