Thomas used a 2.6-m-long ramp to move furniture into a moving van.
If the bottom of the ramp is 2.0 m from the back of the moving van,
what is the angle between the ramp and the ground, to the nearest degree (whole number)?
It is not necessary to include the degree symbol in your answer.
:
This will form a right triangle where the ramp is the hypotenuse (2.6)
and the distance from the van to the end of the ramp is the side adjacent (2) to the angle A
Cos(A) =
using your calc
A = 39.7 ~ 40 degrees
