A mountaintop is a height y above the level ground. A woman measures the angle of elevation of the mountaintop to be θ when she

is a horizontal distance x from the mountaintop. After walking a distance d closer to the mountain, she measures the angle of elevation of the mountaintop to be φ. Neglecting the height of the woman’s eyes above the ground, draw a well-labeled diagram representing this situation and find an expression for the height of the mountain, y, in terms of d, φ, and θ. Note that your expression cannot contain x.

Let t = Theta and p = Phi
Tan t = y/x    Then x =y/Tant.
Tant = y/(x-d)  x-d = y/Tanp
y/Tant  - d = y/Tanp
y -d*Tanr = y*Tant/Tanp
y-y*Tant/Tanp  =  d*Tanr
y(1 - Tanr/Tanp = d*Tant

y = d*Tant/(1-Tant/Tanp)

What factor might be contributing to climate change
kirza4 [7]

Geological records stretching back millions of years indicate a number of large variations in Earth’s past climate. These have been caused by many natural factors, including changes in the sun, volcanoes, Earth’s orbit and CO2 levels.

However, comprehensive assessment by scientists shows that it is extremely likely that human activity has been the dominant cause of warming since the mid-20th Century.
