Points: 0 of 1 The altitude of a mountain peak is measured as shown in the figure to the right. At an altitude of 27.9454 mi 14,506 feet on a different mountain, the straight-line distance to the peak of Mountain A is 27 9454 miles and the peak's angle of elevation is 0=5.1400. (a) Approximate the height (in feet) of Mountain A. (b) In the actual measurement, Mountain A was over 100 mi away and the curvature of Earth 14 506 fit had to be taken into account Would the curvature of Earth make the peak appear taller or shorter than it actually is? (a) The height of Mountain A is approximately feet. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest foot as needed.)
