Question

The picture shows a cable car that carries tourists to the top of a mountain AC.



What is the distance, in feet, that the cable car has to travel to carry tourists from point B to point A?

5000 cot 37˚


5000/ sec37


5000 cosec 37˚

5000/cos ec37

Answer 3

If you remember SOH CAH TOA,

you should use SOH.
so,\[ \sin(37)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\]
\[ \sin(37)=\frac{5000}{hypotenuse}\]

Answer 4

rearranging you should get
\[hypotenuse =\frac{5000}{\sin(37)}\]

Answer 5

and if you still remember \[sinx=\frac{1}{cosec x}\]
So, its

hypotenuse =5000cosec(37)
