To estimate the height of a hill, the angle of elevation is measured at two points 480 m apart on a direct line to the hill. The angle of elevation from the closer point is 42.1°. If the angle of elevation from the farther point is 32°, find the height of the hill. Round to the nearest meter. 32° 42.1° 480 m
