Find the distance of summit from sea level.
Answer to Problem 12P
About 6.94 km
Explanation of Solution
Given:
From Base Camp, located 2000 m above sea level, the angle of elevation of Camp A is
Base Camp is.
Calculation:
Let the distance between Base Camp and Mount Snow = x
The distance between Camp A and Base Camp = BD = 3 km
Then the distance between Camp A and Mount Snow = AC = 3 − x
Represent the situation and solve :
In
In triangle ABD ,
In triangle MBE ,
Also,
Equate both the values of ME:
The height of Mount Snow from base camp is ME:
So, the height of Mount Snow from sea level = 2 + 4.936 = 6.94 km (approximately)
