Answer:

he required measure of point P above the sea level is 7135.1 feet.

Explanation:

Given that,

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°.

What are trigonometric equations?

These are the equation that contains trigonometric operators such as sin, cos.. etc.. In algebraic operations.

Here,

Let the horizontal distance between A and Q be x and the vertical distance between P and Q be h.

Now,

tan20 = h / x

034x = h

Now,

tan35 = [600 + h]/x

0.7x = 600 + 0.34x

x = 1764.70

Now,

h = 0.34 * 1764.70

h = 635.17

Now,

The measure of peak P above sea level = 635.17 + 6500 = 7135.1

Thus, the required measure of point P above the sea level is 7135.1 feet.
