A surveyor measures the angle of elevation to a point on a mountain, that is 6 miles away, to be 15 degrees. The vertical change

in the elevation from the point where the surveyor is standing to the point on the mountain is ??? miles. (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a mile)

The surveyor and mountain form a right angle triangle. 
The base of this triangle is 6 miles and the angle between its hypotenuse and base is 15°
Given that we need to find the perpendicular height, we can apply:
tan∅ = perpendicular/base
p = 6 x tan(15)
= 1.61 miles

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

How to find the average squared distance between the points of the unit disk and the point (1,1)
ddd [48]
The unit disk can be parameterized by the function

\mathbf p(r,\theta)=(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta)

where 0\le r\le 1 and 0\le\theta\le2\pi. The squared distance between any point in this region (x,y)=(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta) and the point (1, 1) is

(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=(r\cos\theta-1)^2+(r\sin\theta-1)^2
=(r^2\cos^2\theta-2r\cos\theta+1)+(r^2\sin^2\theta-2r\sin\theta+1)
=r^2(\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta)-2r(\cos\theta-\sin\theta)+2
=r^2-2r(\cos\theta-\sin\theta)+2

The average squared distance is then going to be the ratio of [the sum of all squared distances between every point in the disk and the point (1, 1)] to [the area of the disk], i.e.

\dfrac{\displaystyle\iint_{x^2+y^2
=\dfrac{\displaystyle\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=1}[r^2-2r(\cos\theta-\sin\theta)+2]r\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta}{\displaystyle\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=1}r\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta}
=\dfrac{\frac{5\pi}2}\pi=\dfrac52

Dylan and Javier had the same size serving of vegetables for dinner. Dylan finished 2/3 of his vegetables. Javier ate 4/6 of his
Bond [772]
Both because 2 x 3 is 6 2x2 is 4 and you get 4/6 so both have the same amount of vegetables

In the XY-plane, the X-axis contains all ordered pairs such that:
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Option B

y coordinate is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in two dimension rectangular system of coordinates with two mutually perpendicular lines called x and y axis.

X axis is the horizontal line and y the vertical line, the point of intersection of these two lines is called origin with x=0: y=0

To the right of origin, positive values are marked and left negative. Similarly for y axis, above origin positive values and below negative values.

Thus we have along x axis, y values to be 0

Hence any point on x coordinate will be of the form (a,0) where a can be any real number

So option B is right
