Answer:

The height of the boat ramp is 25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

Let

h the height of the boat ramp in feet

see the attached figure

[tex]sin(30^o)=\frac{h}{50}[/tex] ----> SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

solve for h

[tex]h=sin(30^o)(50)=25\ ft[/tex]
