<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

(6x+3) (4x-5) (simp) I try to do this one and got the answer 24x^2-18x-15 but I was told it was wrong
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

(6x+3) (4x-5) = 24x^2 -30x +12x -15 = 24x^2 -18x -15

I get the same answer.  I guess we're both wrong?

Or do they want it reduced to:

8x^2 -6x -5
