Question 1093034: on one zip line in a canopy tour in a country, riders drop 37 ft while covering a distance of 684 ft along the ground. How long is the zipline? Answer by greenestamps(13203) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We can't solve this unless we assume the ground is level so that the ground, the zip line tower, and the zip line form a right triangle. Then we can find the length of the zip line using the Pythagorean Theorem.
