To measure the height of a mountain, Zane, the surveyor takes two sightings of the peak at a distance 900
meters apart on a direct line (at the same level) to the mountain. The first observation results in an angle of
elevation of 47°, and the second results in an angle of elevation of 35°. If the transit is 2 meters high, what
is the height of the mountain? This is a two part problem...see example 6 on page 540 in textbook if you need help.
a picture always helps
