Question 1160044: the angle of elevation from the bottom of a slide is 26 degrees. the slide has vertical drop of 10 meter. find the length of the slide. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a right triangle with the hypotenuse the slide and the angle 26 degrees from the base of the slide.
The sine is the opposite/hypotenuse
so sin 26=10/h
h sin 26=10
h (length of slide)=10/sin 26=22.81 m
