From the right triangle formed, the adjacent side to the angle of elevation is 5 miles and the vertical change in elevation is the opposite side. From the trigonometric function, tangent of an angle,
                             tan 12° = x / 5 miles
The value of x from the equation is 1.06 miles. Thus, the vertical change in elevation is 1.06 miles.

Wayne's gym locker is a rectangular prism with a width and height of 12
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Volume = (2890 and 5/8) inches^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = 12 and 1/2inches = 25/2

Width = 12 and 1/2inches = 25/2

Length = 6 inches > width = 6 + width

= 6 + (12 and 1/2) = 18 and 1/2

Length = 18 and 1/2 inches = 37/2

Volume of prism = length × breadth × height

Volume of rectangular prism = (25/2)×(25/2)×(37/2)

Volume of rectangular prism = (23125/8) inches^3

Volume of rectangular prism = (2890 and 5/8) inches^3
