Aramp leading into a building makes a 15 degree angle with the ground. the end of the ramp is 10 feet from the base of the building. approximately how long is the ramp? round to the nearest tenth.

10.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length of the ramp which is leaning against the building,

Given,

The ramp makes a 15 degree angle with the ground.

Also, the distance of one end of ramp from the base of the building = 10 feet,

A building is generally supposed to perpendicular the ground,

Hence, By making the diagram,

We get,

  ( Trigonometric ratio ),

Therefore, the ramp is approximately 10.4 feet long.

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.
