A slide 15 feet long makes an angle of 330 with its vertical ladder. To the nearest foot, how tall is the slide?

13ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly find attached a rough draft of the situation.

Step one:

Given data

The length of the slide represents the

Hypotenuse of the situation on the rough sketch

Angle =33°

Required

The height of the ladder which is the adjacent of the rough sketch represented by x

Step two:

Applying SOH CAH TOA

Cos θ= adj/hyp

Cos 33=x/15

0.84=x/15

Cross multiplying

x=0.84*15

x=12.6

To the nearest foot the ladder is 13ft tall
