    Answer:

    43.58 m

    Explanation:

    If you travel 500 m on a straight road that slopes upward at a constant angle of 5 degrees

    Using trigonometry ratio

    Sin 5 = opposite/hypothenus

    Where the hypothenus = 500m

    Opposite = height h

    Sin 5 = h/500

    Cross multiply

    500 × sin 5 = h

    h = 500 × 0.08715

    h = 43.58m

    Therefore, the height above the starting point is equal to 43.58m
