Question

A road rises 1m for every 15m measured along the road.
a. What is the angle of inclination of the road to the nearest degree?
b. How far does a car travel horizontally when it travels 15m along the road? Give the answer to the nearest tenth of a metre.

Answer 1

This question was confusing, but I came up along with help from Google calculator and an inverse trigonometric calculator, that (A) is around 4 degrees and (B) is around 15 meters (to the hundredth degree is 14.96).
