<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

Answer:

The probability that we roll a 5 is 1/6. So, the probability we don't roll a five is simple 1 minus that:

1-\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}

Triangle ABC is a right triangle. The sides measure AB = 3 and BC = 4. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find CA. A. CA = 25 B. CA
Vesna [10]

Answer:

  CA = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sides are 3 and 4, we recognize this as a 3:4:5 right triangle, with CA = 5. Using the Pythagorean theorem confirms this:

  CA² = AB² +BC²

  CA² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25

  CA = √25

  CA = 5

Write an equation in point-slope form of a line that has a slope of 2/3 and
Serggg [28]

Answer:

y= 2/3x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so basically we want to put it in the form y=mx+b where m is 2/3 and passes through the point (9,5). So sub in the x and y of the point in brackets into the equation. 5= 2/3(9) + b and solve for b so b = -1. Therefore the equation is y=2/3x -1
