Question

anonymous · Answer

A rocket travels 50 km vertically upward at a 90° angle from point A to point B. It then moves a distance of 50 km along the line segment BC, as shown below. 
 

What is the height of the rocket, at point C, from the ground?

anonymous · Answer

is it 75Km?

anonymous · Answer

You take the top triangle and use trignometry to find the opposite side. I strongly recomend you take the sin function.

The opposite side of the hight is 50 km because it is a rectangle so opposite sides have the same length.

so 50 + ( the opposite side) would give you the total height.
