Question 144326: A ramp 17.5 feet in the length rises to a loading platform that is 3 1/3 feet off the ground. Find the angle that the ramp makes with the ground?
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the sine of the angle is the height of the platform divided by the length of the ramp
let x=angle __ sin(x)=(10/3)/(35/2) __ sin(x)=4/21
use a calculator (or a table) to find x
