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)
