<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

The sculpture consists of five identical prisms. JD says the surface area of the sculpture is 44 times the surface area of one p
larisa86 [58]
The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
(see the attached figure n 2 to understand the problem)
[the surface area of one prism]=2*[x*x]+2*[x*y]+2*[x*y]----> 2x²+4xy
[the surface area of the sculpture]=2*[5*x*y]+2*[3*x*x]+2*[3*x*y]--> 6x²+16xy

now
<span>JD says the surface area of the sculpture is 4 times the surface area of one prism
</span>[the surface area of the sculpture]=4*(2x²+4xy)---> 8x²+16xy

we compare the value that JD says with the real value
(8x²+16xy) > (6x²+16xy)
the value that JD says is <span>greater in comparison with the real value
</span>This is because <span>JD should also subtract the areas of eight hidden surfaces.

the answer is 
</span>JD should also subtract the areas of eight hidden surfaces<span>

</span>
