Tyrese is building a ramp up to his home. He knows the height of the ramp is 2 feet. If the angle of elevation of the ramp is 20°, how long does the ramp have to be? 5.81 is not it
To find the length of the ramp, we can use trigonometry.
The length of the ramp can be found using the formula:
Length of ramp = Height / sin(angle of elevation)
Plugging in the values:
Length of ramp = 2 feet / sin(20°)
Length of ramp = 2 feet / sin(20°)
Length of ramp ≈ 5.81 feet
Therefore, the length of the ramp needs to be approximately 5.81 feet.
