Ropeway angle length

The ropeway climbs at an angle of 22°30'. Calculate its length if the height difference between the lower and upper station is 560 m. Sketch a picture

Final Answer:

l =  -1149.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

α=22°30=22°+6030°=22.5°=22.5 h=560 m  sin α  = h : l  l=h/sinα=560/sin22.5=1149.5 m
