Answer :
The hypotenuse Or the distance of the wooden ramp should be 0.26 feet.
What are trigonometric ratios in terms of a right-angle triangle?
We know a right-angled triangle has three sides they are -: Hypotenuse,
Opposite and Adjacent.
We can remember SOH CAH TOA which is,
sin = opposite/hypotenuse, cos = adjecen/hypotenuse and
tan = opposite/adjacent.
Given, A restaurant installed a wheelchair ramp with a height of 3 feet and the angle it makes with the distance of the ramp is no more than 5°.
Now, The height of the ramp can be thought of as the opposite and the distance of the ramp can be thought of as the hypotenuse.
Therefore, sin5° = opposite/hypotenuse.
0.087 = 3/hypotenuse.
hypotenuse = 3×0.087.
hypotenuse = 0.261 feet Or 0.26 feet.
