Question 253755: Hello,
I need help with trigonometry word problem solving. I know how to solve the problems with the SOHCAHTOA ratios, but I don't know how the problems are drawn out. Enclosed are three questions. (I just decided to email all of them in one piece.) Questions preferably answered by 12:00 am (PST) tomorrow (January 5, 2010).
1. A discharge chute on a Reddimix cement truck is 4.7 m long. Chute's angle of inclination is 32 degrees. How far does the cement drop as it moves the length of the chute?

PS Neither noon nor midnight are am nor pm.
Think about it. How could noon be pm since noon is the m of pm. That would be like saying that noon is after itself. pm means after noon and it also can't be am before noon.
