Problem:


The horizontal length of a ramp for people with disabilities is 5 meters. The angle of inclination between the base of the ramp and the surface through which people with disabilities pass is 10 degrees.

Find the length of the ramp.


Solution:

The length of the ramp can be found using the cosine function.

From here, you find the following relationship:

cosine (10) = 5 / L

From here, you clear the length of the ramp.
