The figure above shows a straight water slide that extends from a platform 30 feet high. If the angle of elevation of the water slide is 37o, what is the length of the slide?

An amusement park ride has an elevator that brings riders to the top of a tower. Riders step off the elevator onto a slide, which is a straight line from the top of the tower to level ground. The base of the slide is 400 feet from the base of the tower and the length of the slide is 500 ft. If the elevator rises at a rate of 10 feet per second, how many seconds does the elevator take to rise from the ground to the top of the slide?

Andrew just went down the slide at the playground. He walks 4 feet to get from the end of the slide back to the ladder. Then he climbs 5 feet to the top of the slide again. How long is the slide? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

A water tower is a structure that holds water in a tank, high off the ground.An old water tower had a weakness in one of its supporting beams. As the tank was filled, a beam at the building's foundation started to bend.
