a sign 4m long is to be mounted at an angle of 45 degrees to a building how long will the bracket need to be that supports the edge of the sign?

Answer:
bracket ≈ 2.8 m
Step-by-step explanation:
using the sine or cosine ratio in the right triangle
sin45° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{bracket}{sign}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{bracket}{4}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 4 )
4 × sin45° = bracket , then
bracket ≈ 2.8 m ( to 1 dec. place )
