Oh ok will do, just one question I now treat this as a trig equation and do this

sin(A) = opposite / hypotenuse
sin (0.25) = X / 2.15 m
0.25 * 2.15 = x
0.53 m =x

x = 53cm or 0.53 m

No. X was already your answer directly.

X = .25m using your numbers.

ah ok thanks for the help

so when the ramp is at 0.25m and the golf ball is released and goes down the ramp it will land 1 m away from the table.

Thanks for the help really appreciate it and next time will try to look at a problem in different ways, but the good news is you helped me on how to do this and I probably have all these equations memorized by now hahathanks for the help ^^
