Did you know?
Did you know that the horizontal distance covered by a hunter walking up a hill can be calculated using trigonometry? In this case, if the hill slopes at an angle of 20 degrees to the horizontal and the hunter walks 400m, the horizontal distance covered can be found using the formula: horizontal distance = vertical distance / tan(angle). Therefore, the horizontal distance covered would be approximately (400m / tan(20°)) meters.
Additionally, did you know that the vertical height through which the hunter rises can also be determined? By using the same trigonometric principles, the vertical distance can be calculated using the formula: vertical distance = horizontal distance x tan(angle). Thus, the vertical height through which the hunter rises would be equal to (400m x tan(20°)) meters, rounded to the nearest meter.
