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
Step-by-step explanation:

By cross multiplication,
→ 83(5) = 4x(7)
→ 415 = 28x
<h3>→ 415/28 = x</h3>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A = h(a+b)/2 for h
2A = h(a + b)
h(a+b) = 2A
h = 2A/(a+b)
Take the root of both sides, and then solve.
c = sqrt a^2 + b^2, - sqrt a^2 + b^2.
