Because the earth is round, the distance seen on a flat map is a lot further than the distance on a globe, because of distortion. So following the circle that goes through these 3 points ( Florida, Alaska and the Philippines) it is a shorter distance to fly over Alaska.

62. Height Kirsten places her surveyor's telescope on the top of
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Height of the tripod above the ground = 5 ft

Elevation = 8°

Distance of the tree from the tripod = 120 ft

Therefore from the figure, we can find the height of the tress as:

$\tan 8 ^\circ = \frac{BC}{AB}$

$0.1405  = \frac{BC}{120}$

∴  BC ≈ 16

Therefore, CE = BC+BE

                        = 16 + 5

                        = 21

Therefore the height of the tree is 21 feet.
