SHOW WORK: You drive your car up a constant slope for 21200 feet. In the process, you gain 1320 feet of vertical elevation. What is the angle of this slope?
when a car is driven to a constant slope, diagramatically it is shown below:
car is driven through a constant slope for distance, AC= 21200 feet
vertical distance travelled , AB = 1320 feet
angle of slope, = ,say
From above right trangle ABC,
Sin = AB / AC = 1320 feet 21200 feet
Sin = 1320 21200 = 0.0622
= Sin-1( 0.0622)
= 3.566 (approx)
Angle of slope, = 3.566 (approx)
