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
Answers + Step-by-step explanation :
a) the equation should be:
7(n + 5) = 91 since you first add 5 to n and then multiply it by 7. The answer is 91 so that is on the other side of the equal sign
b) we can solve our equation to find for n, the number jim thought of
7(n + 5) = 91
I will use the distributive property.
7n + 35 = 91
Subtract 35 on both sides
7n = 56
Now divide 7 on both sides to find n
n = 8
The number Jim was thinking of was 8! this should be correct, hope this helps!
