<u>Answer</u>


1.6 miles


<u>Explanation.</u>

Am trying to interpret this question and am finding that you want to find the vertical change in elevation which you are calling S.

Hoping my interpretation is correct, this is how you solve it.


You are going to use the trigonometric ratio, tangent.

TanФ = opposite/adjacent


tan 15° = S/6


S = 6×tan15°

= 6 × 0.267949192

= 1.607695155


Answer

S = 1.6 miles

Find y when x=14 if y varies directly with x2, and y =72 when x=6
Art [367]
6 times 12 is 72 so 14 times 12 would be 168 if that is what you are looking for. So for that y=168 :-)
