Cable car climb

The lower station of the cable car in Smokovec is at an altitude of 1025 m, and the upper station at Hrebienk is at an altitude of 1272 m. Calculate the climb of the cable car if the horizontal distance between the slopes is 1921 m.

Final Answer:

α =  7.3268 °

Step-by-step explanation:

h1=1025 m h2=1272 m x=1921 m  y=h2h1=12721025=247 m  tanα=y:x=247:1921=19212470.1286  α=π180°arctan(y/x)=π180°arctan(247/1921)=7.3268=7°1937"
