Samuel is at the top of the tower and will ride down a zip line to a lower tower. The total vertical drop of the zip line is 40f
t. The zip line's angle of elevation from the lower tower is 11.5° . To the nearest tenth, what is the horizontal distance between the towers?
1 answer:
Answer:
196.6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw the right triangle formed by the zip-line. Use SOH-CAH-TOA to write and solve an equation:
tan 11.5° = 40 / x
x = 40 / tan 11.5°
x = 196.6
