On the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center there is an escape

On the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center, there is an escape basket that can hold four astronauts. The basket slides down a wire that is attached 197 high, above the base of the launch pad. The angle of Inclination measured from where the basket would touch the ground to the base of the launch pad Is 1 degree angle of Inclination from that same point to where the wire is attached Is 10. degree. How far from the launch pad does the basket touch the ground b?

Solution

solution-: In the triangle a=?

By suing sine

sine 11= 197/a

a=197/sin11

a=1032.45 feet answer
