Question

a stone rolls 300m down a slope as it falls it's drops 120 m vertically calculate the angle of the shape​

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

`\sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{120}}{\underset{hypotenuse}{300}}\implies \sin(\theta )=\cfrac{2}{5}\implies \theta =\sin^(-1)\left( \cfrac{2}{5} \right)\implies \theta \approx 23.58^o`

Make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
