WORK THIS CHALLENGE EXERCISE.

A is known to be 6,500 feet above sea level; AB= 600 feet. The angle at A looking up at P is 20°. The angle at B looking up at P is 35°. How far above sea level is the peak ?

Find the height of the mountain peak to the nearest foot.

Height above sea level= ft.

(Hint: Draw a perpendicular BJ from B to AM . Label the various angles. Compute BJ then BP then PQ, rounding to the nearest tenth in each step; and finally find 6,500 + PQ .)

WORK THIS CHALLENGE EXERCISE.

A is known to be 6,500 feet above sea level; AB= 600 feet. The angle at A looking up at P is 20°. The angle at B looking up at P is 35°. How far above sea level is the peak ?

Find the height of the mountain peak to the nearest foot.

Height above sea level=    ft.

(Hint: Draw a perpendicular  BJ from B to AM . Label the various angles. Compute BJ then BP then PQ, rounding to the nearest tenth in each step; and finally find 6,500 + PQ .)
