A conveyor belt carries supplies from the first floor to the second floor, which is 26 feet higher. The belt makes a 60 degree angle with the ground. How far do the supplies travel from one end of the conveyor belt to the other?
So I got that the altitude is 26 and its asking for the hypotenuse but I am confused about which is the long and short leg and just how to get the answer in general thanks.
