Question

?

A ramp is 17 feet in length and covers a horizontal distance of 15 feet. It rises vertically 8 feet above the floor. What is the sine of the angle between the horizontal and the ramp?

Answer 1

sin is opposite over hypotenuse so
sin(x)=8/17
so use inverse of sin and do
sin-1(8/27)
so the answer is 28.0724.... (idk how many decimal places you want)
