The elevation gained after travelling 1.5 miles =  3960 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

  Angle of elevation = 30°

  Distance traveled= 1.5 miles

  1 mile = 5280 ft.

Therefore 1.5 miles = 5280 x 1.5

                                = 7920 ft.

 The height can be calculated by,

       sin 30° = height / 7920

              1/2 = height / 7920

       Height = 7920/2

                   = 3960 ft.

The elevation gained after travelling 1.5 miles will be 3960 ft.

Assume that lines that appear to be tangent are tangent. O is the center of the circle. Find the value of x.
MariettaO [177]
Draw an imaginary line from the vertex of angle x to the center of the circle.
This divides the 4-sided polygon into two right triangles.  For example, the upper right triangle has an acute angle whose measure is 135 degrees / 2, or 67.5 degrees, and the another acute angle whose measure is x/2.

x/2 and 67.5 degrees are complementary angles, so x/2 + 67.5 deg = 90 deg.  Thus, x/2 = 22.5 deg, and so x = 45 deg.  (answer)
