Question

A road is inclined at an angle of 5°. After

driving 5,328 feet along this road, find the
driver's increase in altitude Round to the
nearest foot

Answer 1

464feet

Explanation:

USing the SOH CAH TOA identity

Hypotenuse = 5,328feet

Angle of elevation - 5 degrees

Required

Opposite = x

Since

Sin theta = opp/hyp

sin 5 = x/5,328

x = 5,328sin5

x = 464.36

x = 464feet to the nearest foot
