Question 1076173: To measure a stone face carved on the side of a mountain, two sightings
650650
feet from the base of the mountain are taken. If the angle of elevation to the bottom of the face is
3737degrees°
and the angle of elevation to the top is
4141degrees°,
what is the height of the stone face? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It helps to draw this.
tangent 41=distance from ground to top of face/650
top=650*tan 41=565.04'
bottom=650*tan37=489.81'
Since the distance from the ground to where the face begins is the same, we can subtract the second from the first for 75.22'
