A road rises 60m for every 340m travelled along it. At what angle ( to the nearest degree) is the road inclined to the horizon

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

let angle of incline be represented by alpha

[tex] \tan( \alpha ) = \frac{60}{340} [/tex]

[tex] \alpha = \tan( \frac{60}{340} ) [/tex]

(note that above, inverse tan (tan to the power of -1 is used)

[tex] = 10.0079798[/tex]

= 10 degrees ( nearest degree)
