Answer: Approximately 14.737627 degrees
Round this however you need to
======================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below.
1 mi = 5280 ft
1.8 mi = 1.8*5280 ft
1.8 mi = 9504 ft
We use the tangent ratio to tie together the opposite side (2500 ft) with the adjacent side (9504 ft)
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(x) = 2500/9504
x = arctan(2500/9504)
x = 14.737627 approximately
Side note: the arctangent is the same as inverse tangent denoted as [tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex]
