I am doing review questions in preperation for tomorrows test. This is the exact question.
Stonehenge in Salisbury Plains, England, was constructed using solid stone blocks weighing over 99,000 pounds each. Lifting a single stone required 550 people, who pulled the stone up a ramp inclined at an angle of 9 degrees. Approximate the distance that a stone was moved in order to raise it to a height of 31 feet.
Am I missing something? Do I not need to know the distance of the adjacent side before I can get this?
