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
Answer:
The volume is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question ,
and 
The volume of a pyramid is given as
From the question, the base of the pyramid is a square.
Hence base area is given by 
This implies that the volume of the pyramid is
Step-by-step explanation: use a histograph
hope helps with the first the rest i cant read its not clear.
Answer: dr/dt = 9/(24pi) cm per minute
9/(24pi) is approximately equal to 0.119366
=============================================
Work Shown:
Given info
dS/dt = 18 cm^2/min is the rate of change of the surface area
r = 6 cm is the radius, from the fact that the diameter is 12 cm
--------
Use the surface area equation given, apply the derivative, plug in the given values and then isolate dr/dt which represents the rate of change for the radius
S = 4*pi*r^2
dS/dt = 2*4*pi*r*dr/dt
dS/dt = 8*pi*r*dr/dt
18 = 8*pi*6*dr/dt
18 = 48*pi*dr/dt
48pi*dr/dt = 18
dr/dt = 18/(48pi)
dr/dt = (9*2)/(24*2pi)
dr/dt = 9/(24pi)
The units are cm per minute, which can be written as cm/min.
