Answer:
The length of the ramp is at least 17.2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for the appropriate diagram.
The length of the ramp is represented with z
So, we have:
[tex]\theta = 8[/tex]
[tex]BC = 2.4[/tex]
Required
Find z
To find z, we make use of sine formula:
[tex]sin\theta = \frac{BC}{z}[/tex]
Make z the subject
[tex]z= \frac{BC}{sin\theta }[/tex]
So:
[tex]z= \frac{2.4}{sin(8)}[/tex]
[tex]z= \frac{2.4}{0.1392}[/tex]
[tex]z= 17.2ft[/tex]
The length is at least 17.2 feet
