Question

A road has an incline of 10°. To the nearest foot, find the increase in altitude of a car after driving 4,000 feet along the road.

Answer 1

y = 695 feet

Explanation:

Answer 2

sin(theta) = opp/hyp
opp = sin(theta) * hyp
y = sin(10 degrees) * 4000 feet
y = 0.1736 * 4000feet
y = 695 feet
