Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram is attached.
Looking at the diagram, we want the side "opposite" of the angle given and the side "adjacent" is given.
Which ratio relates opposite and adjacent? It is Tan.
We can use trigonometry and tan ratio to solve for the distance "x":
D is the correct answer.
The answer is 95° 36' 36"
4/11 = 0.36 (repeat: 36)
5/11 = 0.45 (repeat: 45)
6/11 = 0.54 (repeat: 54)
7/11 = 0.63 (repeat: 63)
For this case we have the following relationship:
(x / 5280) = (7/100)
From this relationship we must clear the value of x.
Clearing we have:
x = (7/100) * (5280)
Calculating we have:
x = 0.07 * 5280
x = 369.6 feet
Answer:
it does rise in a horizontal distance of 1 mile about:
x = 369.6 feet
