Asurveyor measures the angle of elevation to a point on a mountain to be 18 degrees. the point on the mountain is horizontally 4 miles away from the surveyor. the vertical change in elevation from the point where the surveyor is standing to the point on the mountain is

The answer is 1.3 (This is rounded to the nearest hundredth.)

Using tangent ratio:

As per the statement:

A surveyor measures the angle of elevation to a point on a mountain to be 18 degree.

Angle of elevation = 18 degree.

It is also given that:

the point on the mountain is horizontally 4 miles away from the surveyor.

Let y be the vertical change in elevation from the point where the surveyor is standing to the point on the mountain.

See the diagram as shown below in the attachment

we have;

Opposite side = y miles and adjacent side = 4 miles

Using tangent ratio:

then;

Multiply both sides by 4 we have;

or

miles.

Therefore, 1.3 miles is the the vertical change in elevation from the point where the surveyor is standing to the point on the mountain
