Question
the height of an inaccesible mountain peak C must be estimated. fortunately two smaller mountains A and B which can be easily scaled, are located near the higher peak. to make matters even simpler, three peaks lie on a single line.from the top of the mountain A, altitude 2000m, the elevation angle to c is 12.32 degree. the elevation of C from mountain B is 22.73 degree.mountain B is 100m higher than A.the straight line (slant) distance between peaks A and B is 3000m.determine the unknown height of mountain C.
Explanation / Answer
i'm not going to do this for you but i i think you should draw a small illustration. it usually helps me. (don't forget to label your peaks AND angles of elevation/depression) be sure to think about how sine, cosine, and tangent might play into this problem. i placed mountain A and mountain B on separate sides of mountain C. hope this helped
