# Ditch

Ditch profile is an isosceles trapezoid with bases of length 80m and 60m. The slope of the side wall of the ditch is 80°. Calculate the ditch depth.

Correct result:

h =  56.713 m

#### Solution:

$a=80 \ \text{m} \ \\ c=60 \ \text{m} \ \\ x=(a-c)/2=(80-60)/2=10 \ \text{m} \ \\ \tan 80^\circ =h/x \ \\ \ \\ h=x \cdot \ \tan 80 ^\circ =\tan 4π/9=56.713 \ \text{m}$
