A ramp leading into a building makes a 15° angle with the ground. The end of the ramp is 10 feet from the base of the building. Approximately how long is the ramp? Round to the nearest tenth. 10.3 feet 10.4 feet 13.2 feet 38.6 feet

Respuesta :

Answer:

10.4feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up wil form a right triangle

Length of the ramp is the hypotenuse

The length of the end of the ramp from the base= 10 feet (adjacent)

Angle of elevation = 15 degrees

Required

Length of the ramp

Using SOH CAH TOA

Cos  theta = adj/hyp

cos 15 = 10/L

L = 10/cos15

L = 10/0.9659

L = 10.35

L ≈ 10.4 feet

Hence the length of the ramp is 10.4feet
