Draw this
\n" ); document.write( "there is a right triangle with leg 1 mile, height x miles, and elevation 4 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "This is the tangent function
\n" ); document.write( "tan 4=x/1
\n" ); document.write( "x=tan 4 or 0.0699 miles (units)
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 5280
\n" ); document.write( "=369.21 or 369 feet.
