A slide 4.3 m long makes an angle of 31 degrees with the ground how high is the top of the slide above the ground

Given that the slide is 4.3 m long and makes an angle of 31°, then to get how high the slide is above the ground we use trigonometry formula.

sin θ=opposite/hypotenuse

opposite=x=how high the slide is above the ground

hypotenuse=length of the slide=4.3 m

θ=31°

plugging the values in the formula and solving for x we obtain

sin 31=x/4.3

x=4.3*tan 31

x=4.3 (0.6009)

x=2.58387

x~2.6 m

Hence we conclude that the top of the slide is approximately 2.6 m from the ground
