You stand at base camp and look up at the summit of the mountain you are about to climb. The angle of elevation to the top is 15°. You are 5 miles from the point underneath the summit, as shown below.Which expression below is equivalent to how many feet will you have gained in elevation when you reach the summit?5 cos (15°) x 5,2805 cos (15°) ÷ 5,2805 tan (15°) x 5,2805 tan (15°) ÷ 5,280

Respuesta :

tan 15 = x/5
so 5 tan 15 = x 

Answer:

5 tan (15°) x 5,280

Step-by-step explanation:

You stand at base camp and look up at the summit of the mountain you are about to climb. The angle of elevation to the top is 15°. You are 5 miles from the point underneath the summit, as shown below.

Which expression below is equivalent to how many feet will you have gained in elevation when you reach the summit?

5 cos (15°) x 5,280

5 cos (15°) ÷ 5,280

5 tan (15°) x 5,280

5 tan (15°) ÷ 5,280
