A contractor plans to install two slides for the children to play in a park. For the children below the age of 5 years, she prefers to have a slide whose top is at a height of 1.5 m, and is inclined at an angle of `30^@`to the ground, whereas for elder children, she wants to have a steep slide at a height of 3m, and inclined at an angle of `60^@` to the ground. What should be the length of the slide in each case?

To solve the problem of finding the lengths of the slides for children in the park, we will use the properties of right triangles and trigonometric ratios. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Problem**: We have two slides: - Slide for children below 5 years: Height = 1.5 m, Angle of inclination = 30°. - Slide for elder children: Height = 3 m, Angle of inclination = 60°. ...
