Krista was vacationing in the jungle and wanted to ride a zip line. The platform was 173ft above the ground. The angle of elevation of the zip line was 40 degrees from the ground. Approx. How long was her ride down the zip line?

173*40/2


Although I'm not sure...

Yes the angle and the hieght create a triangle so it would be bh/2

Which in this case would be 173*40/2
