If a loading ramp is placed next to a truck, at a height of 3 feet, and the ramp is 21 feet long, what angle does the ramp make with the ground? Round your answer to one decimal place
Ratios
A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.
Trigonometric Ratios
Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.
If a loading ramp is placed next to a truck, at a height of 3 feet, and the ramp is 21 feet long, what angle does the ramp make with the ground?
Round your answer to one decimal place.
The ramp makes an angle of degrees with the ground.
So it's a triangular situation in which 2 sides are given and we have to find the angle.
