- Mountain Climbing Several mountain climbers are located in a mountain pass between two peaks. The angles of elevation to the two peaks are 0.84 radian and 1.10 radians. A range finder shows that the distances to the peaks are 3250 feet and 6700 feet, respectively (see figure). (a) Find the angle between the two lines. (b) Approximate the amount of vertical climb that is necessary to reach the summit of each peak.arrow_forwardNavigation On a map, Minneapolis is 165 millimeters due west of Albany, Phoenix is 216 millimeters from Minneapolis, and Phoenix is 368 millimeters from Albany (see figure). (a) Find the bearing of Minneapolis from Phoenix. (b) Find the bearing of Albany from Phoenix.arrow_forwardHeight of Cloud Cover To measure the height of the cloud cover at an airport, a worker shines a spotlight upward at an angle 75 from the horizontal. An observer 600 m away measures the angle of elevation to the spot of light to be 45. Find the height h of the cloud cover.arrow_forward
