A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain. from one point on the plain, they observe that

the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is 28 ∘ . from a point 1000 feet closer to the mountain along the plain, they find that the angle of elevation is 30 ∘ .

The height of the mountain is 11650 ft.

At the angle of 28 degree apply the tangent law

tan28=\frac{h}{x} Eq.1

At the angle of 30 degree apply the tangent law

tan30=\frac{h}{(x-1000)} Eq. (2)

On solving eq. (1) and Eq. (2)

The height of the mountain is h=11650 ft.

Darya [45]
<span>Water in the oceans may become fresh water available to humans through the processes of evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

In these processes, water is heated to a very high temperature until it evaporates in order to kill the germs and remove the salts which remains after water evaporation. The next step in condensing the water vapor (which is now fresh) and precipitating this vapor to be used by humans.</span>
