[Worth 30 Points] NEED HELP!!!

To estimate the height of a mountain, two students find the angle of elevation from a point (at ground level) b=740meters from the base of the mountain to the top of the mountain is β=60∘. The students then walk a=1850 meters straight back and measure the angle of elevation to now be α=37∘. If we assume that the ground is level, use this information to estimate the height of the mountain.

The height of the mountain is: ______ Meters.

Explain how your answer measure below. Be sure to show all of your work.

The height of the mountain estimated by two students is 2,467.98 meters.

Height of the mountain

The height of the mountain is calculated as follows;

tanα = h/( a + b + x)

where;

  • x is the distance between end of b and h

tan37 = h/(1850 + 740 + x)

tan37 = h/(2590 + x)

h = tan37(2590 + x)

h =1,951.82 +  0.7536x  ---- (1)

tanβ = h/(b + x)

tan60 = h/(740 + x)

h = tan60(740 + x)

h = 1,281.68 + 1.732x ---- (2)

Solve (1) and (2) together

1,951.82 +  0.7536x = 1,281.68 + 1.732x

1,951.82  -  1,281.68 = 1.732x  -  0.7536x

670.14 = 0.9784x

x = 684.93 m

h = 1,281.68 + 1.732x

h = 1,281.68 + 1.732(684.93)

h = 2,467.98 m

Thus, the height of the mountain estimated by two students is 2,467.98 meters.
