Julian wants to use a sheet of fiberboard 21 inches long to create a skateboard ramp
with a 24° angle of elevation from the ground. How high will the ramp rise from the
ground at its highest end? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch if
necessary.

Respuesta :

The height of the ramp is 8.5 inches to the nearest tenth

SOH CAH TOA identity

Given the following parameters

  • Length of skateboard = 21 inches (Hypotenuse)
  • Angle of elevation = 24 degrees

Required

Height of the ramp (opposite)

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Sin24 = H/21

H = 21sin24

H = 8.54

Hence the height of the ramp is 8.5 inches to the nearest tenth
