Asurveyor measures angle of elevation on a mountain to be 15 degrees the ponit on the mountain is horizontally 6 miles away from surveyor the vertical change in elevation from the point where the surveyor is standing to the point on the mountain is what amount of mile s

Answer

1.6 miles

Explanation.

Am trying to interpret this question and am finding that you want to find the vertical change in elevation which you are calling S.

Hoping my interpretation is correct, this is how you solve it.

You are going to use the trigonometric ratio, tangent.

TanФ = opposite/adjacent

tan 15° = S/6

S = 6×tan15°

= 6 × 0.267949192

= 1.607695155

Answer

S = 1.6 miles

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
