Question

Can i please have some actual help with this?

Answer 1

x = 286.01 inches

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the ramp, H = 20 inches

Angle of elevation,
`\theta=4^(\circ)`

We need to find the value of x. It can be solved using trigonometry as follow :

`\tan\theta=(P)/(B)`

Where

P is perpendicular and B is base

So,

`\tan(4)=(20)/(x)\\\\x=(20)/(\tan(4))\\\\x=286.01\ in`

So, the value of x is equal to 286.01 inches.
