Answer :

Answer:

1.86 metres

Explanation:

Given the following

Length of the slide = 4.1m (hypotenuse)

Angle of elevation = 27 degrees

Required

Height of the slide above the ground

Using the trigonometry identity

sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 27 = H/4.1

H = 4.1sin27

H = 4.1(0.4539)

H = 1.86 metres

Hence the height ofthe slide above the pole is 1.86metre to the hundredth meters
