Question 937261: Sara is on a mountain top that is 18240 feet above sea level. How far must she walk down the mountain to reach sea level?

she'll have to walk down 18240 feet vertically, but unless she's on a perfectly vertical mountain cliff and can rock-climb down the vertical cliff, she'll have to walk much farther than 18240 feet, along the slope of the mountain, to reach sea level.
