Ariel snowboarded down a mountain that has a vertical height of 1,200 feet. She traveled a distance of 2,400 feet from the top of the mountain to the base. The angle of elevation from the base to the top of the mountain is (blank)°.
For this case what you should do is use the following trigonometric relationship senx = (1200) / (2400) senx = 0.5 Clearing the angle we have x = ASIN (0.5) x = 30 Answer: The angle of elevation from the base to the top of the mountain is 30 °
