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.
