To estimate the height of a mountain, two students find the angle of elevation from a point (at ground level) b = 800 meters from the base of the mountain to the top of the mountain is β = 59 ∘ . The students then walk a = 2550 meters straight back and measure the angle of elevation to now be α = 32 ∘ . If we assume that the ground is level, use this information to estimate the height of the mountain.

The height of the mountain is 1,331.4 meters (approximately)

Step-by-step explanation: From the information given, the students were standing at point b which is 800 meters from the base of the mountain and the angle of elevation from that point is 59°. Assuming that the ground is level, we can derive a right angled triangle from this set of details and hence we have triangle ABC, where angle β is the reference angle, (59 degrees), BC is the distance from the students to the base of the mountain (800 meters) and the line AC is the height of the mountain.

The line AC is the opposite, since angle B is the reference angle, therefore we shall use the trigonometric ratio as follows;

Tan β = opposite/adjacent

Tan 59 = AC/800

Tan 59 x 800 = AC

1.6643 x 800 = AC

1331.44 = AC

AC ≈ 1331.4

Therefore the height of the mountain is approximately 1,331.4 meters

answer:

the position of equilibrium will shift to the left.

step-by-step explanation:

the general equation for the dissociation of a weak base is

b + h₂o   ⇌   bh⁺ + oh⁻

according to le châtelier's principle, when a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will respond in a way that tends to relieve the stress.

if you apply a stress by adding more bh⁺ or oh⁻,   the system will respond by moving in a direction that gets rid of the added ions.

the position of equilibrium will shift to the left, forming more of the undissociated base.

e) none of the above because the measure of angle cba is 101°
