Aslide 4.1 m long makes an angle of 35° with the ground. rounded to the nearest tenth of a meter, how far above the ground is the top of the slide?

The slide is inclined at an angle of 35 degrees with the ground. The length of the slide is 4.1 meters.

To find how far above the ground is the top of the slide, we need to find the vertical component of the length of the slide inclined at 35 degrees.

The vertical component of Length of Slide = 4.1 sin (35) = 2.4

So, rounding to nearest tenth of a meter, the top of the slide is 2.4 meters above the ground

Since the situation forms a right triangle with hypotenuse and angle given, then sin = opposite / hypo

opposite = hypotenuse * sin theta = 2.35m
