The angle of elevation of the upper terminal from the lower terminal is about 15.5 degrees. The distance between the two terminals is about 1365 meters. About how much higher above sea level is the upper terminal compared to the lower terminal? Round answer to the nearest meter.... I'm having the hardest time with this problem! I don't know where to start! </SPAN>\n" );
