The trigonometric function gives the ratio of different sides of a right-angle triangle. The length of the ramp is equal to 10ft.

What are Trigonometric functions?

The trigonometric function gives the ratio of different sides of a right-angle triangle.

[tex]\rm Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]

where perpendicular is the side of the triangle which is opposite to the angle, and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90° angle.

The length of the ramp is,

Cos(θ) = Base/Hypotenuse

Cos(30°) = 9ft /The length of the ramp

The length of the ramp = 9ft/Cos(30°)

Length of the ramp = 10.3923 ft ≈ 10ft

Hence, the length of the ramp is equal to 10ft.
