Aslide 4.1 meters long makes an angle of 35 with the ground. to the nearest tenth of a meter, how far above the ground is the top of the slide? 5.0 m 3.4 m 7.1 m 2.4 m

2.4 m

Explanation:
The given scenario can be represented using a right-angled triangle as shown in the attached image.

Now, in a right-angled triangles, special trigonometric functions can be applied. The function that we will use here is:
sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
where:
θ = 35°
opposite side is the height of the slide that we want to find
hypotenuse is the length of the slide = 4.1 m

Substituting in the equation, we would find that:
sin (35) = opposite / 4.1
opposite = height of the slide = sin (35) * 4.1 = 2.35 which is approximately 2.4 m

Hope this helps :)
