Question from christine, a parent: A roof on a shed is 7.3 ft wide has an incline of 20 degrees what is the height? |
Hi Christine,
Is this the diagram you have in mind where you want o find $h$?
If so then what trig functions related the angle measurement, $20^o$ and the side lengths $h$ feet and 7.3 feet?
