First step is to convert the miles to feet
1 mile = 5280 feet

3 miles x 5280 feet = 15,840 feet.
 now both the height and distance is in feet
 
the angle of elevation is found by calculating the arctan of the height/ distance

arctan(4080 / 15840) = 14.44 degrees

round the answer if needed.

Cool Down: Fish Population
Ber [7]

Answer:

the population this year is 15 I think

Step-by-step explanation:

the population this year is 15 I think because 60 = 100% so if you divide 60 into two you will get 30 / 50%. then divide 30 again which would be 15 and that's 25 percent.  only if you know what 60 divides by 2 and then 30 divided by 2.

The temperature at a mountain base camp was −3 degrees Celsius on Monday. Tuesday morning, the temperature was 2 degrees Celsius
kotegsom [21]
It is -3 to start off with, on Monday. On Tuesday morning it would be -3 - 2 degrees, = -5 degrees. By Tuesday evening it was 4 degrees lower than in the morning, so -5 - 4 degrees = -9 degrees on Tuesday evening.

Hope this helps xox :)
