<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

two angles are supplementary of the sum is 180. the larger angle measures four degrees more than sevem times the measure of a sm
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

22 and 158

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180. This is means there is a small and large angle. Adding together, they make 180.

  • "the larger angle measures four degrees more than seven times the measure of a smaller angle" is represented as 7x+4.
  • "x represents the measure of the smaller angle" is represented as x.

x + 7x+4 =180

8x+4=180

8x=176

x= 22

This is the measure of the smaller angle. The larger angle is 7(22)+4 = 158
