Answer:
12.73 Degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to assume some things. The height of the truck is not changing, i.e. the the distance and length of the ramp is but the height stays the same.
We draw our right triangle, see photo
We really only care about finding out what side a is so
[tex]c = \frac{a}{ \sin(x) } [/tex]
Note: Let x = A
[tex]12 = \frac{a}{ \sin(36) } [/tex]
[tex]12 \sin(36) = a \\ a = 7.05342302750[/tex]
[tex] \sin(x) = ( \frac{opp}{hyp} ) \\ \sin(x) = ( \frac{7.05342302750}{12} ) \\ = 35.9999 \: degrees[/tex]
So, since I stated that height did not change, same process just using 32 for the hypotenuse.
[tex] \sin(x) = ( \frac{opp}{hyp} ) \\ \sin(x) = ( \frac{7.05342302750}{32} ) \\ = 12.73367164 \: \: degrees[/tex]
