Hello,

I have solved this question and want to make sure my work is right! I just want to make sure that the hypotenuse, and angle of inclination, are correct.

Thank you!

The image depicts a zip line setup with two vertical platforms. The platform on the left is 62 feet high. The zip line spans a horizontal distance of 1,376 feet between the two platforms. The actual length of the zip line is 1,377 feet, creating a slight incline with an angle of 2.58 degrees. This setup illustrates basic trigonometric concepts, showcasing the relationships between the angle of inclination, the height difference, and the lengths of the sides of a right triangle formed by the zip line.
