The altitude of a mountain peak is measured as shown in the figure to the right. At an altitude of 14,592 feet on a different mountain, the straight-line distance to the peak of mountain is
27.9642 miles and the peak's angle of elevation is 5.25°
14,592 ft
Approximate the height of the mountain to the nearest foot. (Neglect the curvature of the earth.)
The height of the mountain is approximately feet.
(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest foot as needed.)

step-by-step explanation:

john earns $14.00 for two hours of work.

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.

a.)the line for function b is steeper
