The driver's increase in altitude is 569 feet.
Given that,
A road is inclined at an angle of 6°.
After driving 5,440 feet
along this road,
We have to determine,
The driver's increase in altitude?
According to the question,
A road is inclined at an angle of 6°.
After driving 5,440 feet
along this road,
The inclination is determined by using the sin angle.
Therefore,
The driver's increase in altitude is,
[tex]\rm Sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\[/tex]
Where Perpendicular = a, angle = 6 degree and hypotenuse = 5,440ft.
Substitute all the values in the formula,
[tex]\rm Sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\rm Sin6 = \dfrac{a}{5440}\\\\\rm 0.104= \dfrac{Perpendicular}{5440}\\\\Perpendicular = 5440 \times 0.104\\\\Perpendicular = 569 \ feet[/tex]
Hence, The driver's increase in altitude is 569 feet.
