Geometry Unit 9B Test ZOOM CALCULATOR COLOR THEME 6. The walking distance on a sloped distance going down to a creek can be easily measured. However, to determine the horizontal and vertical distance, trigonometry can be used. Paul measured the sloped distance going down into Cibolo Creek from the top edge down to the bottom of the creek bed as 26.4 meters. If the land slopes downward at an angle of 33°, how far is the horizontal distance to the bottom of the creek horzontal distance 339 meters Cibolo Creek Linansvarened
