Question

A road is inclined at an angle of 14 degrees. After driving 4100 feet along the food, find the drivers increase in altitude. Round to the nearest foot.

A)900
B)992
C)547
D)1200

Answer 1

Answer: 992 feet

Explanation:

A road is inclined at an angle of 14 degrees. After driving 4100 feet along the food, find the drivers increase in altitude

applying sin rule on the triangle

Sin = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 14 = x / 4100

x = sin 14 × 4100

x = 0.2419 × 4100

x = 991.8 = 992

drivers increase in altitude = 992 feet
