From the right triangle formed, the adjacent side to the angle of elevation is 5 miles and the vertical change in elevation is the opposite side. From the trigonometric function, tangent of an angle,
tan 12° = x / 5 miles
The value of x from the equation is 1.06 miles. Thus, the vertical change in elevation is 1.06 miles.
4 because a 45-45-90 triangle has a side ratio of 1-1-sqrt2 with sqrt2 being the hypotenuse
The highest median lifespan would be represented on the box plot that has the highest median value.
Company A: 23
Company B: 24
Company C: 22
Company D: 22.5
The company with the highest median lifespan of batteries is company B.
