the peak of Mountain A is 27.6366 miles and The altitude of a mountain peak is measured as shown in the figure to the right. At an altitude of 14,516 feet on a different mountain, the straight-line distance the peak's angle of elevation is e = 5.3500°. (a) Approximate the height (in feet) of Mountain A. (b) In the actual measurement, Mountain A was over 100 mi away and the curvature of Earth had to be taken into account. Would the curvature of Earth make the peak appear taller or shorter than it actually is? 27.6366 mi 14,516 t (a) The height of Mountain A is approximately feet. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest foot as needed.)
