<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

A small town's raffle has 85 entries and 3 gift baskets that three different people could win. What is the probability of winnin
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

<h2>0.035</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on probabilty since there are a number of entries to be selected from which are 85 entries, the chances of winning one of the prices if selected is

the number of entries you have/ total number of entries

given that the total entry is 85

and that you have one entry

Since there are three gift baskets you have three chances to win one.

hence there will be a total of three draws, and after each draw, there won't be a replacement of the previous winner (as the winners are three distinct persons).

Hence the probability of winning a draw for the gift basket is  

=1st draw+2nd draw+3rd draw

= 1/85+1/84+1/83

= 0.0117+0.0119+0.012

= 0.035
