This height indicates that sine will be useful. The slide of 4.2 meters is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The angle the slide makes with the ground is opposite the height.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%2835%29=y%2F4.2\" using y as the height where top of the slide is attached.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=4.2%2Asin%2835%29\"
