Cable car 2

The cable car rises at an angle of 16° and connects the upper and lower station with an altitude difference of 1082 m. How long is the track of the cable car?

Correct answer:

x =  3925.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

α=16  h=1082 m  sin α = h:x  x=h/sinα=h/sin16° =1082/sin16° =1082/0.275637=3925.4=3925.4 m
