a ramp into a building forms a 6° angle with the ground. if the ramp is 8 feet long, how far away from the building is the entry point of the ramp? round the solution to the nearest hundredth.
5.33 feet
6.05 feet
7.04 feet
7.96 feet

The distance of the entry point of the ramp from the building is:

                           7.96 feet

This problem could be modeled with the help of a right angled triangle and one of the angle of the triangle being equal to 6 degree such that the hypotenuse of the triangle is: 8 feet.

Now, we are asked to find the length of the side which is adjacent to the angle 6 degree.

In triangle ΔABC using the trignometric ratio we have:

your answer would be 12
