Well hand-writing / clear format please

You are traveling in the desert, and your position is represented by your coordinates
(x, y) away from the city at the origin, measured in kilometers. The sand dunes
around you can be modeled by the surface: h(x, y) = 30 sin (x) sin ( y)+ 40,
where h represents the height in meters.
