Answer:
62 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The side opposite the angle is given, and the length of the side adjacent to the angle is asked for. The appropriate trig relation is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(11°) = (12 in)/(base length)
Solving for base length gives ...
base length = (12 in)/tan(11°) ≈ 61.73 in
The base of the ramp is about 62 inches long.
