Tan 2° = x / 1 mile,   where x is the vertical change
0.03492 = x / 1 mile
x = 1 mile · 0.03429 = 0.03492 miles
1 mile = 5,280 feet
0.03492 · 5,280 = 184.38 ft
Answer: The vertical change is 184.38 feet

joja [24]

Here, I've attached a picture of the triangle that accompanies this explanation.

cot = = =

Now view the triangle.

PS. Angle theta will have a coordinate of (-, +) because it is in quadrant II.

sin of the angle would be opposite/hypotenuse, so sin =

cos of the angle would be adjacent/hypotenuse, so cos =

tan of the angle would be opposite/adjacent, so tan =

Explain how to find the distance between two integers using the difference.
Gelneren [198K]

Select two numbers on the number line. For this example, the numbers are -8 and 6.

Subtract one number on the number line from the other number. For example, 6 subtracted from -8 is -14.

Obtain the absolute value of the number line difference. For this example, the absolute value for  -14 is | |-14|=14. The distance between these two numbers is 14.
