Answer:

  • 6955 ft

Explanation:

  • Refer to attached. Point J, segment BJ and angle measures added.

Step 1, find BJ

  • BJ / AB = sin 20° ⇒ BJ = AB sin 20° ⇒ BJ = 600 sin 20° ≈ 205.2 ft

Step 2, find BP

  • BJ/BP = cos 75° ⇒ BP = BJ / cos 75° ⇒ BP = 205.2/cos 75° ≈ 792.8 ft

Step 3, find PQ

  • PQ/BP = sin 35° ⇒ PQ = BP sin 35° ⇒ PQ = 792.8 sin 35° ≈ 454.7 ft

Step 4, find the elevation of peak P

  • Height above sea level = 6500 + 454.7 ≈ 6955 ft (rounded)
