You are giving the angle and opposite leg.

Using the law of sines:

Sin(angle) = opposite leg / hypotenuse

Sin(30) = 2/ hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 2/sin(30)

Hypotenuse = 4 meters

The maximum length of the seesaw is : (C). 4 meters

Meaning of Maximum length

Maximum length can be defined as the total distance between two point in consideration.

Maximum length can also be said to be the total sum of all the length along a distance.

In the case above, the hypotenuse side is the maximum length.

In conclusion, The maximum length of the seesaw is : 4 meters
