The rope is a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse of length 70 and the other side of the track 48th
Therefore, the arc sine function used
asin (48/70) = 43.29 degrees
Think of it as a triangle. Hypotenuse is 70 feet and 48 feet would be on the other hand, were unknown to the adjacent leg. To find the angle (theta), is the reverse of the paranasal sinuses, divided by the hypotenuse, since sin = OPP / HYP
sin ^ -1 (48/70) = 43.29 degrees (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
