The cable car

The cable car is 3,5 kilometers long and climbs at a 30 degrees angle. What is the altitude difference between the Upper and Lower stations?

Final Answer:

y =  1750 m

Step-by-step explanation:

c=3.5 km m=3.5 1000  m=3500 m A=30   sin A = y / c  A1=A° rad=A° 180π =30° 1803.1415926 =0.5236=π/6  y=c sin(A1)=3500 sin0.5236=1750 m
