the angle of depression from the top to the bottom of a ski lift is 43°. if the vertical distance between the top and bottom of the lift is 800 feet, determine the length of the cable between them.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of the cable is [tex]1,173\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the cable

we know that

[tex]sin(43\°)=\frac{800}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{800}{sin(43\°)}\\ \\x=1,173\ ft[/tex]
