Question

madankapoor10 · Answer

cos 25=0.90631 cos 25=(the end of the slide to the stairway beneath the top of the slide)/( length of the slide) length of the slide=60/0.90631=66.2 the length of the slide = 66.2 feet

madankapoor10 · Answer

The length of the slide can be calculated using trigonometry, specifically the cosine function. By applying the equation length of the slide = c o s ( 25° ) 60 ​ , we find that the slide is approximately 66.2 feet long. Therefore, the slide is about 66.2 feet in length.
