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.

1 answer

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.
