Altitude difference

Between the resorts is 15 km, and the climb is 13 per mille. What is the height difference?

Final Answer:

h =  194.9835 m

Step-by-step explanation:

c=15 km→ m=15⋅ 1000  m=15000 m p=13‰=100013​=0.013   tan α = h:x = p α=π180°​⋅arctanp=π180°​⋅arctan0.013≐0.7448 ∘  h=c⋅ sinα=c⋅ sin0.74480317831506° =15000⋅ sin0.74480317831506° =15000⋅ 0.012999=194.984=194.9835 m
