straight emergency slide for an airplane is 35 long.
If the top of the slide is 11.2 feet above the ground, what angle does the slide make with the ground?
:
This forms a right triangle with the ground so we can use the sine of the angle
Side opposite is 11.2 ft and the hypotenuse is 35 ft
sin(A) =
find the angle using your calc
A = 18.66 degrees
