Question

An escalator in a department store is to carry people a vertical distance of 50 feet between floors. How long is the escalator if it makes an angle of 30° with the ground?

Answer 1

Draw a picture.

One line goes straight up. It is 50 feet.

The escalator is on a 30 degree angle making a right angled triangle.

The escalator is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Answer 2

55 feet.

Answer 3

100 ft

sin 30 = 50 / d

1/2 = 50/d

d = 100

Answer 4

Distance = 300/pi

Sin30=50/x

x=300/pi             sin30=pi/6
