Question
A zipline starts 25 feet off the ground and has an angle of elevation of 27° . What is the horizontal distance the zipline will cover, x?(1 point)
Responses

x=135.10 ft.
x equals 135.10 ft.

x=49.07 ft.
x equals 49.07 ft.

x=29.38 ft.
x equals 29.38 ft.

x=12.74 ft.

Answer 1

tan(27°) = opposite/adjacent = 25/x, so x = 25 / tan(27°) ≈ 25 / 0.509525 ≈ 49.07 ft.

Answer: x ≈ 49.07 ft.
