The rise from the ground by the skateboard is 5.5 inches

How to determine the height above the ground?

The length of the skateboard is given as:

Length (l) = 18 inches

The angle of elevation (x) is

x = 17∘

Represent the height with h.

The value of h is calculated using the following tangent ratio:

tan(x) = h/l

Make h the subject

h = l * tan(x)

Substitute known values

h = 18 * tan(17)

Evaluate

h = 5.5

Hence, the rise from the ground by the skateboard is 5.5 inches
