39. A woman stands at a horizontal distance x from a mountain
S and measures the angle of elevation of the mountaintop
above the horizontal as 0. After walking a distance di closer
to the moungain on level ground, she finds the angle to be
d. Find a general equation for the height y of the mountain
in terms of d, , and 8, neglecting the height of her eyes
above the ground.
When a man stands near the edge of an empty drainage ditch of depth 2.80 m, he can barely see the boundary between
the opposite wall and bottom of the ditch as in Figure (a) shown below. The distance from his eyes to the ground is
