14 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Ron is designing a new slide for the amusement park in town. The slide makes an angle of 39° with the ground. The top of the slide is to be 9 feet off the ground.  What should be the length of the slide he needs to make to the nearest foot?

We can see from the attachment that slide forms a right triangle with respect to ground, where, h is length of the slide.

We will use sine to solve for h as sine relates opposite side of right triangle with hypotenuse.

Therefore, Ron needs to make the slide approximately 14 feet long.

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
