What is a Right angled triangle?

This is a triangle that has one of the sides as 90°. The sides of a Right angle triangle include:

  • Hypotenuse
  • Opposite
  • Adjacent

The hypotenuse is the longest side

The trigonometric formular associated with Right angle triangle are:

  • sin θ = Opposite /  Hypotenuse
  • cos θ = Adlacent / Hypotenuse
  • tan θ = Opposite / Adjacent

Given:

θ = 15

height covered by the inclination ( opposite ) = 10 feet

using: sin θ = Opposite /  Hypotenuse

sin 15 = 10 /  Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 10 / sin 15

Hypotenuse = 36.637 feet

Hypotenuse ( length of the ramp ) = 38.6 feet (to the nearest tenth)

lenth of ramp = 38.6 feet
