Step-by-step explanation:

law of sine :

a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

with the sides and correlating angles being always opposite to each other.

we are dealing with a right-angled triangle here.

the train track is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle) : 1600 ft.

the horizontal level "connection" from beginning to the end of the track is one leg, and the elevation difference at the end of the track is the second leg.

the 2 legs enclose a 90° angle, as the elevation goes straight up from the horizontal level.

so, we have

1600/sin(90) = elevation difference / sin(1.6)

sin(90) = 1

1600 = elevation difference / sin(1.6)

elevation difference = 1600 × sin(1.6) =

= 1600 × 0.027921639... =

= 44.67462196... ft

≈ 44.7 ft

Not sure what the length of the rectangle is but to find perimeter of a rectangle you can use the following formula

2w+2l= perimeter

The reason we multiply both the length and width by two is because there are two ends of the width and two ends of the length.

The other formula that would also work is as follows

w+w+l+l= perimeter


Hope it helps
