Map - climb

On the map of the High Tatras, on a scale of 1:11000, are cable car stations in the Tatranska Lomnica and the Skalnate Pleso with a distance of 354.6 mm. The altitude of these stations is 949 m and 1760 m.

What is the average angle of climb on this cable car track?

Correct answer:

α =  11.75 °

Step-by-step explanation:

Δh=1760949=811 m Δx=354.611000/1000=3900.6 m  tanα=ΔxΔh  α=arctanΔxΔh=arctan3900.6811 α=11.75=11°4443"
