A skateboard ram inclines at an angle of 20 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( " If the ramp has a run of 4 meters, what is the length of the ramp?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You solve this using the cosine of 20 degrees, let r = the length of the ramp
\n" ); document.write( "cos(20) = \"4%2Fr\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"4%2Fcos%2820%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 4.2567 meters
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
