Answer:
x = 64 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale is proportional to the actual:
(6 m)/(3/4 cm) = x/(8 cm)
Multiplying by 8 cm, we get ...
x = (8 cm)·(6 m)/(3/4 cm)
x = 64 m . . . . the width of the actual wall
Answer: true
Step-by-step explanation:
You can draw a right triangle with the informatio.
The vertical change in elevation (unknown) is the opposed leg to the angle 15°
The distance from the surveyor to the point vertically below the point on the mountain is the adjacent leg = 6 miles.
Then tan(15°) = x / 6 => x = 6tan(15) = 1.61 miles
Answer: 1.61 miles
