The body of a dump truck is raised to empty a load of dirt. How high is the 10 inch body from the frame when it is tipped upward at 45 degrees? round to the nearest inch.
Answer:
7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, "10 inch" would be "10 feet".
Now,
the height of the body from the frame at 45% angle would create a 45-45-90 degree triangle.
From the triangle, the body height (h) divided by \(\sqrt{2}\) would give us the approximate height of the body from the frame.
So,
\(\frac{10}{\sqrt{2} }=7.07\)
So, the 10 feet body would be around 7.07 feet from the frame. Rounded to nearest inch, it would be 7 feet.
