A contractor plans to install two slides for the children to play in a park. For the children below the age of 5 years, she prefers to have a slide whose top is at a height of √3m and is inclined at an angle of 60∘ to the ground. What should be the length of the slide?

The given situation can be represented by the figure below
In right-angled traingle ABC,
sin∠ACB=ACAB=(√3)2⇒sin60∘=√3mAB⇒AB=√3√32⇒AB=2m∴Length of the slide is 2m.
