The angle of elevation from a point 3 miles from Mt. Harvard in Colorado is 43° [Note: 1 mile = 5280 feet] A 3.0 miles (a) Find the height of Mt. Harvard in feet. Show the analysis leading to your answer. Bill is driving near Mt. Harvard in Colorado. He makes a first stop at point A and measures the angle of elevation to the top of Mt. Harvard to be 21°. He then drives further and stops at point B and measures the angle of elevation to be 49º. (Use your answer from part (a) for these problems). (b) Write and solve a trigonometric equation to find the distance y, in feet, to Mt. Harvard after the second stop. 219 1499 A 1 (c) Write and solve a trigonometric equation to find the distance x, in feet, that Bill traveled between stops. (d) Bill is traveling at an average speed of 73 ft/sec. Not including the stop at point B, how long does it take him to drive to Mt. Harvard from point A?
