British surveyors in the middle 1800's were sent to india to survey the country, particularly mt. everest, culminating in "the great trigonometrical survey of india." as they traveled toward mt. everest, they stopped periodically to take measurements with a transit theodolite.3 suppose that they stopped at one point and measured the angle of elevation to be 3degree8'38".4 after traveling 75 miles more toward the mountain, they again take a reading and find the angle of elevation to be 12degree23'27". from this information, they determine the height of mt. everest, as must you to complete this problem. express your answers in feet.
