: In a parking garage,there are 20 feet between each level. Each ramp to a level is 130 feet long. Find the measure of the angle of elevation of each ramp. This question is from textbook ALgebra 1
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Firstly draw a diagram showing a triangle with the required angle, a hypotenuse of 130 ft and an opposite side of 20 ft.
The sine of the angle required uses the formula Opposite/Hypotenuse.
Sin(angle)=0.1538
Angle=arcsine(0.1538)
Angle is 8.85 degrees
