For similar triangles, corresponding angles are congruent.
Corresponding sides are in the same ratio but rarely congruent.
(They're congruent only if the ratio is ' 1 ', i.e. the triangles are congruent

You can draw a right triangle with the informatio.
The vertical change in elevation (unknown) is the opposed leg to the angle 15°
The distance from the surveyor to the point vertically below the point on the mountain is the adjacent leg = 6 miles.
Then tan(15°) = x / 6 => x = 6tan(15) = 1.61 miles
Answer: 1.61 miles
