Use an appropriate trigonometric function and a calculator if necessary to solve the following problems. See the earlier examples.

The ramp of a moving truck touches the ground 12 feet away from the end of the truck. If the ramp makes an angle of 30° relative to the ground, what is the length of the ramp?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12.63 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use cos theta = base/hypothenuse

cos 18 = 12/AB

0.95 = 12/AB

AB = 12/0.95

AB = 12.63 feet
