The horizontal distance the zipline will cover, x, can be found using the tangent function:
tan(27°) = x/25
To solve for x, we can rearrange the equation:
x = 25 * tan(27°)
Using a calculator, we find that:
x ≈ 12.74 ft
So the correct answer is T = 12.74 ft.
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)
O = = 49.07 ft
Oz = 20.38 ft
O = = 135.10 ft
• T = 12.74 ft.
