Question 881092
A right triangle is formed with the slide being the hypotenuse.
The height of the slide is opposite the 33.5° angle.


To find the length of the slide:


Sin 33.5° = 26/x  {sin of 33.5 equals opposite over hypotenuse}
0.5519 ≈ 26/x  {evaluated sin of 33.5}
0.5519x ≈ 26 {multiplied each side by x}
x ≈ 47.1 {divided each side by 0.5519}


The slide is approximately 47.1 ft. long.
