What is the angle of the road above the horizontal? You are driving up a long, inclined road. After 1.10 mi you notice that signs along the roadside indicate that your elevation has increased by 520 ft. You may want to review (Pages 62 - 65). Express your answer using two significant figures. θ = 5.1 Correct Here we learn how to find the direction of a vector if we know its magnitude and vertical component. Part B How far do you have to drive to gain an additional 130 ft of elevation? Express your answer using two significant figures. x = 0.28 mi
