Question

22. A 1500' zip line is connected between two poles. If the line makes an

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between to poles is 1430' .

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use Coeine Rule, cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse. Then substitute the following values into the formula :

$\cos(θ) = \frac{adj.}{hypo.}$

Let adj. = d,

Let hypo. = 1500' ,

Let θ = 18°,

$\cos(18) = \frac{d}{1500}$

$d = 1500 \cos(18)$

$d = 1430 \: (3s.f)$
