A funicular carries passengers up an embankment to an observation point. if the length of the track is 68.8 meters and the angle of inclination is 34 degrees 4​', determine the height of the embankment.

The height of the track will be given by:
sin θ=opposite/ hypotenuse
θ=34°4'=34+4/60=34 1/15°
thus
sin 34 1/15=h/68.8
h=68.8sin 34 1/15
h=38.54 meters
