Question 1174818

A skier drops a total of 700 vertical feet while skiing 1200 ft down the slope.
What is the angle of the ski slope with the horizontal?
<pre>Let angle that the ski slope makes with the horizontal, be A
Then we get: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,9, sin (A), "=", O/H, "=", 700/"1,200", "=", 7/12, "=", highlight(35.6853^o)))}}}
