A surveyor measures the angle of elevation to a point on a mountain to be 12 degrees. The point on the mountain is horizontally

5 miles away from the surveyor. What is the vertical change in elevation from the point where the surveyor is standing to the point on the mountain? (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a mile.)

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.

Sonja [21]

This is quite basic actually,

208 kmh equals 208,000 meters per hour

This is because a km equates to 1000 meters.

A 3-gallon tub of ice cream yields about 90 scoops of ice cream. There are roughly 3785 cubic centimeters in 1 gallon. Determine
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The radius of the scoop is r = 3.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 gallons yields 90 scoops, and 1 gallon = 3785 cm³.

3 gallons = 3 × 3785 cm³ =  11355 cm³

So we have 11355 cm³ in 3 gallons which is also the volume of 90 scoops.

Since 90 scoops = 11355 cm³, then

1 scoop = 11355 cm³/90 = 126.2 cm³

Now, if each scoop is a sphere, the volume is given by V = 4πr³/3 where r is the radius of the scoop. Since we need to find the radius of the scoop, r, making r subject of the formula, we have

r = ∛(3V/4π)

Substituting V = 126.2 cm³, we have

r = ∛(3× 126.2 cm³/4π)

= ∛(378.6 cm³/12.57)

= ∛30.13 cm³

= 3.1 cm

So, the radius of the scoop is r = 3.1 cm
