Answer 1

The height of the mat off the ground is 5 / √3 feet

How to find side of right angle triangle?

The right angle triangle has an adjacent side of 5 feet.

The hypotenuse and height of the right triangle is unknown.

Therefore,

tan 30 = opposite/adjacent

tan 30 = h / 5

h = 5 tan 30

h = 5 × 0.57735026919

h = 2.88675134595

h = 2.89 feet

Therefore, it can be written in surd form as follows:

height = 5 × 1 / √3

height = 5 / √3
