What is the measure of the angle that the slide makes with the ground, x, to the nearest degree?

Answer:
x = 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use the sine ratio to find x
sin x = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8.5}{14.5}[/tex], hence
x = [tex]sin^{-1}[/tex]([tex]\frac{8.5}{14.5}[/tex]) = 36° ( nearest degree )
