A map and Trig problem of WOW

We have been running in the mountains wow gold lately.... climbing about 3,000 feet one way then turning around and comming back down....

And that's cool and lots of fun and a good work out for everyone involved!

But just how far are we running?

I measured the distance on a map.... 18.6 miles (one way).... But that's a flat line wow gold distance... we actually climbed 3,000 feet...

Sooo... if we imagine this as a great big Right wow gold Triangle we can figure it out using trig.

Don't forget to convert feet into miles or vise-versa.
