(07.04 MC) Jim is designing a seesaw for a children's park. The seesaw should make an angle of 30' with the ground, and the maximum height
to which it should rise is 2 meters, as shown below:
1
2 meters
30
What is the maximum length of the seesaw? (6 points)
Select one:
a. 3.00 meters
b. 3.5 meter
C. 4,00 meters
d 4.5 meters

4.00

Explanation

To find the maximum value for x, the hypotenuse, with a given of an angle 30° and a height of 2 m, we can see that 30° is directly opposite the side of 2 m, in which case we may use the sin of 30° to find the hypotenuse.

Remember that the sin = opposite/hypotenuse, so sin30° = 2/x

1) sin30 = 2/x
2) 1/2 = 2/x
3) x = 4

Hope this helps :)
