To measure the height of a mountain, a surveyor takes two sightings of the peak at a distance 900 meters apart on a direct line to the mountain. The first observation results in an angle of elevation of 47o , where as the second result is an angle of elevation of 35o . If the transit is 2 meters high, what is the height h of the mountain

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.

answer: your answer is a
