Question

A ski has an angle of elevation of 24.4 degrees and a vertical drop of a 1100 ft to the nearest ft, how long is the ski run?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2663 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using SOHCAHTOA:

$\sin(24.4) = \frac{1100}{x}$

Solve for x:

$x = \frac{1100}{ \sin(24.4)}$

$x = 2662.765 \approx \: 2663ft$
