travel = 39 ft / sin(60º)
time = travel / (70 ft/min)
A conveyor belt carries supplies from the first floor to the second floor, which is 39 feet higher. The belt makes a 60° angle with the ground. How far do the supplies travel from one end of the conveyor belt to the other to the nearest foot? If the belt moves at 70 ft./min., how long does it take the supplies to move to the second floor to the nearest tenth of a minute?
