A straight trail with a uniform inclination of 15 degrees leads from a lodge at an elevation of 600 feet to a mountain lake at an elevation of 6100 feet. What is the length of the trail (to the nearest foot)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of the trail = 22796 ft

Explanation:

From the ΔABC

AC = length of the trail = x

AB = 6100 - 600 = 5500 ft

Angle of inclination [tex]\theta[/tex] = 15°

[tex]\sin \theta = \frac{AB}{AC}[/tex]

[tex]\sin 15 = \frac{5900}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{5900}{0.2588}[/tex]

x = 22796 ft

Since x = AC = Length of the trail.

Therefore the length of the trail = 22796 ft
