Using Geometry to Determine the Cost and Length of Water Slides

The video tutorial teaches how to model a word problem using trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean theorem. It focuses on designing a water slide with specific constraints, such as ladder height and slide angle. The tutorial calculates the costs of building both the longest and shortest slides, considering different pricing for slide lengths. It concludes with a decision-making process on which slide to build, weighing cost against potential customer attraction.
