A ramp is 11 ft high as shown below. How long is the ramp to the nearest foot?

Answer:
Length of the ramp is 79 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Height of the ramp = 11 ft
Angle between the elevated ramp and the horizontal base = 8°
By applying sine rule in the given triangle,
sin(8°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{11}{x}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{11}{\text{sin}(8)}[/tex]
x = 79.03 ft
x ≈ 79 ft
Therefore, length of the ramp is 79 ft.
