X=m/5-p/5 i tried my best to answer this problem
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:
C. (-13, -7)
Step-by-step explanation:
The location of a point O(x, y) that divides a line AB with location A
and B
in the ratio m:n is given by:

Therefore the coordinates of point X That divides line segment from Y(-8, 8) to T(-15, -13) in the ratio 5:2 is:

Therefore the coordinates of point X is at (-13, -7)
