Even though they’re still growing (something called Plate Tectonics according to Wiki), I want to know how tall Mt. Everest is. With an altitude of 40,000 feet, an airplane travels toward Mt. Everest with an angle of depression of 15 degrees. The plane travels at a speed of 853 ft/sec. 48 seconds later the plane is directly above the summit. How tall is Mt. Everest? Round your answer to the nearest foot. This will be equal to t. (I NEED THE STEPS / EQUATION!)
