A contractor plans to install two slides for the children to play in a park. For the children below the age of 5 years, she prefers to have a slide whose top is at a height of 1.5 m, and is inclined at an angle of 30 ° to the ground, where as for the elder children she wants to have a steep side at a height of 3 m, and inclined at an angle of 60 ° to the ground. What should be the length of the slide in each case?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
for children below the age of 5:
we know that sin=opposite /hypotenuse;
sin 30=1/2=1.5/hypotenuse
cross multiplying=
hypotenuse= 3m
slide for the younger children=3m
for elder children:
sin =opposite/hypotenuse
sin 60 = root3/2 =3/hypotenuse
cross multiplying=
hypotenuse=2root3m
slide for the older children=2root3
