(Q10) A contractor wants to set up a slide for the children to play in the park. He wants to set it up at the height of 2 m and by making an angle of 30o with the ground. What should be the length of the slide?

o30x m2m

Solution :

Height of slide = 2 m

Let the length of the slide = x m.

Angle made by the slide with the ground = 30o

From the figure

sin ° =
x
1
=
x

x = × = m

Length of the slide = m.
