INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS 1. For his Christmas holiday, Hill drives up a sloping mountain with a fuel efficiency of 35 miles per gallon. He spends around 8 gallons of fuel to get to the peak. However, upon checking his GPS, the GPS tells him he has only traveled 240 miles. Hill theorizes that this is because the GPS does not account for the mountain's slope. What is the mountain's angle of elevation?
