A skateboard ramp has a slope of 5/6. What is the measure of the angle the ramp forms with the ground to the nearest degree

Respuesta :

Space

Answer:

39.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know slope is rise over run. That would mean our right triangle would have a horizontal leg of 6 and a vertical leg of 5. From there we use tan∅ to help solve ∅:

tan∅ = 5/6

∅ = tan⁻¹(5/6)

∅ = 39.8056
