is parked on a driveway that is at 15 degree angle with the
horizontal. Find the components of the car's weight parallel and
perpendicular to the driveway? Draw the right triangle
representing the driveway (one leg), the perpendicular (the
other leg), and the base. The right angle is where the car is.
Draw the height line, being perpendicular to the base; the
height of the right triangle is 12. (I think this may be a typo,
though; 12 kilograms does not correspond to 2700 pounds.) The
height line forms two right triangles, with the legs of the
original triangles being the hypotenuse of each new triangle.
Use trig ratios and the given angle measure to find their
lengths. gierose wrote:A woman on the ground sees an airplane
