Question

2. MOUNTAIN BIKING On a mountain bike trip along the Gemini Bridges Trail in Moab, Utah,

Answer 1

Using the slope concept, it is found that the angle of elevation to the top of the bridges is of 57.7º.

What is a slope?

The slope is given by the vertical change divided by the horizontal change.

It's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem:

• The horizontal change is of 60 m.

• The vertical change is of 100 - 5 = 95 m.

Hence:

$\tan{\alpha} = \frac{95}{60}$

$\alpha = \arctan{\left(\frac{95}{60}\right)}$

$\alpha = 57.7$

The angle of elevation to the top of the bridges is of 57.7º.
