A children's slide has a length of 5.8m. The vertical ladder is 2.6m above the groubd. Find the angle the slide makes with the ground, correct to one decimal place.

Answer
26.6°
Explanation
You are required to use the trigonometric ratio, sine, to find that angle.
SinФ = opposite/hypotenuse
sin Θ = 2.6/5.8
= 0.4483
The angle Θ = Anti-sine(0.4483)
= 26.633°
The angle the slide makes with the ground, correct to one decimal place is 26.6°
