<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

Daniel [21]
For a 30-60-90 triangle
if the shorter leg (oposite 30 degrees) is x then the other leg is x√3 and the hyptonuse is 2x

so
hyptonuse=8
8=2x
4=x

longer leg is 4√3, yep
so shorter leg or height will be 4 units
