well, the triangle is an isosceles, so it twin sides, and the twin sides make twin angles, as we see by the tickmarks on A and C, meaning AB = BC.

Step-by-step explanation:
brainliest pls thanks bro
This is very sloppy but u hope it helps
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
