a conveyor belt carries supplies from teh first floor to the second floor, which is 12 feet higher. The belt makes a 60% angle with the ground. How far do the supplies travel from one end of the conveyor belt to the other? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

it will make a right triangle with base angle of 60 degree
cos60=12/D
where D=distance how much belt travel

1/2=12/D
1/2*12=D
d=6 feet
hope am right
