The altitude of a mountain peak is measured as shown in the figure to the right. At an altitude of 14 comma 585 feet on a different mountain, the straight-line distance to the peak of Mountain A is 27.9622 miles and the peak's angle of elevation is thetaequals5.1500 degrees.
(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 had to be taken into account. Would the curvature of Earth make the peak appear taller or shorter than it actually is?
