Angle of Elevation 2008-01-29
From Rita:
Uluru or Ayers Rock is a sacred place for Aborigines of the western desert of Australia. Chun-Wei uses a surveying device to measure the angle of elevation to the top of the rock to be 11.5 degrees. He walks half a mile closer and measures the angle of elevation to be 23.9 degrees. How high is Ayers Rock in feet?
