Task 4 Little Bear Mountain has an altitude of 800m. The mountain to the east of Little Bear Mountain has a
higher altitude. Arthur Benjamin was taking a break from skiing and was basking in the sun at the top of
Little Bear Mountain. He wondered how much higher the eastern mountain was. He was able to see down
to the Ranger Station at the bottom of Eastern Peak at an angle of depression of 41° and look up to the
top of Eastern peak at an angle of elevation of 27°.
Find out how much higher Eastern Peak is (to the nearest tenth of a meter) than Little Bear Mountain.
