Jim is designing a seesaw for a children’s park. The seesaw should make an angle of 45 with the ground and the maximum height to which it should rise is 1 meter. What is the maximum length of the seesaw?

B. 1.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, we can see that a right triangle is formed.

The angle that the seesaw makes with the ground, 45°, is opposite the height to which it should rise.

We are to find the maximum length if the seesaw, which would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed.

Use the following trigonometric ratio formula to find the maximum length if the seesaw.

Let x be the maximum length of the seesaw. Thus,

Sin(45) = opposite/hypotenuse

Opposite = 1 m

Hypotenuse = x

Solve for x

Divide both sides by sin(45)

(approximated)

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.
