(a)
To find: the angle between the two lines.
(a)
Answer to Problem 1PS
The angle is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The angles of elevation to the two peaks are 0.84 radian and 1.10 radians. A range finder shows that the distance to the peaks are 3250 feet and 6700 feet.
Calculation:
The sum of the angle of elevations of the two peaks and the angle between the two lines of sight to the peaks is equal to
We suppose, angle between the two lines of sight to the peaks be?
Therefore,
(b)
To approximate: the amount of vertical climb that is necessary to reach the summit of each peak.
(b)
Answer to Problem 1PS
Explanation of Solution
Suppose, the vertical climb for the first peak be
Therefore,
Suppose the vertical climb for the second peak be
Therefore,
