A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain. From one point on the plain, they observe the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is 31°. From a point 1500 feet closer to the mountain along the plain, they find that the angle of elevation is 34°. How high is the mountain in feet.
Figure in plane geometry formed by two rays or lines that share a common endpoint, called the vertex. The angle is measured in degrees using a protractor. The different types of angles are acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex.
