Answer:

2.74feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not told what to find, we can find the height of the plywood

Given the following

length of ramp = 8feet

angle of elevation = 20degrees

Required

Height of the plywood

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 20 = H/8

H = 8sin20

H = 8(0.3420)

H = 2.74 feet

Hence the height of the plywood is 2.74feet
