Problema Solution
You are climbing on a straight mountain trail that has a slope of 0.39. If your initial elevation is 10,300 feet, what is your elevation after 264 horizontal feet? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer provided by our tutors
initial horizontal distance = 10300/.39
now horizontal distance = 10300/.39 + 264
=> elevation = 10300 + 264*.39
= 10402.96 feet
