slope distance D = 150 m measured at a slope of 12°. Find the horizontal distance.

 slope distance D = 150 m measured at a slope of 12°. Find the horizontal distance.

Solution:

Step 1: Horizontal distance formula

$$H = D \cos \theta$$ $$H = 150 \cos 12° \approx 150 \cdot 0.9781 \approx 146.7 m$$

✅ Answer: Horizontal distance = 146.7 m
