Verified Answer :

5*(cos13) Draw the triangle with 5.00 meters as the hypotenuse and 13.0 degrees of the angle that forms to the slope. I hope this helps you :)

Answer:

The horizontal distance is 4.54 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 5 m

Angle =13°

We need to calculate the horizontal distance

According to figure,

Let be the distance x.

Using trigonometry  

The horizontal distance is

\(\cos\theta = \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\)

\(\cos13^{\circ}=\dfrac{x}{5}\)

\(x = 0.907\times5\)

\(x=4.54\ m\)

Hence, The horizontal distance is 4.54 m.
