Answer:

24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the length of the pool and the angle, we know the angle is the "angle of depression from the top of the slide to the pool", making it the lower angle (c). The hypotenuse is 46 feet.

[tex]sine = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]sin 31.66 = \frac{x}{46}[/tex]

sin(31.66) = 0.524877545

x = 0.524877545 • 46

x = 24.14436706

x = 24
