When Mount Saint Helens erupted in 1980, the top of the mountain was blown off. A surveyor determined the height of the new summit by measuring the angle of elevation to the top to be 37°46'. She then moved 1000 feet closer to the volcano and measured the angle of elevation to be 40°30'. Find in ft the new height of Mount Saint Helens.

intensity of the vector is v= √37 ≈ 6.08 units and make angle ∡α ≈ 9.46° with east direction

step-by-step explanation:

required vector is consists of the two componentsvx= 2+4=6 units   and vy= 1 unit and vx ⊥ vywe will use pythagorian theorem to find intensity of the vector vv∧2 = vx∧2 + vy∧2 => v = √vx∧2 + vy∧2 = √6∧2 + 1∧2 = √36+1 = √37 ≈ 6.08 unitsthe angle ∡α between vector and east direction we wil find with tanαtanα = 1/6 => α = arc tanα = arc 1/6 => α ≈ 9.46°
