Question

in southern California, there is a six-mile section of Interstate 5 that increases 2,500 feet in
elevation. What is the angle of elevation?

Answer 1

Answer:

4.51°

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile= 5280 feet

6 mile= 6(5280) =31680 feet

Angle of elevation is 0 where

tan 0 = 2500/ 31680 = 0.0789

Hence 0 = tan-1(0.0789) = 4.51°

hope it helps!
