Imagine you want to measure the height of an inaccessible mountain peak on an island in the South Pacific. First, you line up your boat so it is due west of the peak, and then find that the peak is an angle of 12 degrees up from the horizon. Next, you move your boat a displacement of 25km, 37 degrees south of east. How tall is the peak of the mountain?
