Answer:
sin(12°)
Step-by-step explanation:
Because sine and cosine are cofunctions, we can use the relation sin(90° - θ) = cosθ to show that cos(78°) = sin(90° - 78°) = sin(12°)
Let’s see now, there are 600 inches in 50 feet.
12in = 1ft, 12in * 50 = 600.
Which means the model you’ll be making will be a 1:600 ratio model. If we find out how many inches are in 1,250 feet, and divide that number by 600, we will get our answer.
1,250 * 12 = 15,000.
So 1,250 feet equate to 15,000 inches. Now we must divide 15,000 by 600.
15,000 ÷ 600 = 25.
So your model will be 25 inches (or 2’1” [2 feet & 1 inch] tall).
