The cable car

The cable car has a length of 3,5 kilometers and an angle of climb of 30 degrees. What is the altitude difference between Upper and Lower Station?

Correct result:

y =  1750 m

Solution:

c=3.5 km→ m=3.5⋅ 1000  m=3500 m A=30∘  sin⁡A=y/c  A1=A∘→ rad=A∘⋅ π180 =30∘⋅ 3.1415926180 =0.5236=π/6  y=c⋅ sin⁡(A1)=3500⋅ sin⁡(0.5236)=1750 m
