Ryan was skiing at Snow Bowl, Arizona last winter. He was at the top of Sunset Peak. He measured the angle of depression to the bottom of the run to be 14°. He read that the actual length of the run is 2675 feet. What is the change in altitude to the bottom of the run?
Given AC = 2675 feet
ð XAC= 14 degree
Therefore ð ACB = 14
Now Sin C= AB/AC
AB = AC . Sin C
AB = 2675 * Sin 14 feet
AB = 2675 * 0.241922 feet
AB = 647.1411 feet
1. general touring skis -these are for
track skiing. They are long, narrow, and light compared to metal-edge skis,
making them more efficient and very fast. This makes them better to use for the
groomed trails.
2. metal-edge skis -for skiing out-of-track or on
steeper terrain. They are heavier than touring skis and have metal edges to
grip the snow and ice. The edges also help with turning on steep slopes. They are
meant for deep snow and icy terrain. They are wider in order to be more stable.
