Two climbers are on the same mountain. one is at point B and the other is at the bottom of the mountain. The climber at the bottom is looking up at the climber point B. If the angle of inclination between the climber's eyesight at the bottom and horizontal is 47 degrees, how far are the climbers apart of each other if they could travel in a striaght line?
Climber B is 200m away from climber on the bottom
use the following:
cos (47) = 200/hypotenuse
Hypotenuse = 200/(cos(47)) = 270.4 m
