You can put this solution on YOUR website! straight emergency slide for an airplane is 35 long.
If the top of the slide is 11.2 feet above the ground, what angle does the slide make with the ground?
:
This forms a right triangle with the ground so we can use the sine of the angle
Side opposite is 11.2 ft and the hypotenuse is 35 ft
sin(A) =
find the angle using your calc
A = 18.66 degrees
