Hey guys this is a precalculus honors question and im stuck, appreciate it if i could get your help.
Lauri is a sea level and uses surveying equipment to sight the top of Mount Tam. The angle of elevation to the top is
22 degrees 10 minutes. She moves 1000 ft toward Mount Tan and finds that the angle of elevation to the top is
32 degrees 40 minutes. What is the height of Mount Tam?
This involves adding vectors. My teacher showed us the formula for how to add vectors, but I'm confused on how to set it up so i can add the two vectors. And no im not asking you guys to help me do my homework, but if you can just show me how to do this one, maybe ill understand how to solve the rest of them. :D

Also, can someone explain to me how to find the direction (the degree of angle), because i know that its different when there is a "from" in the question, implying a negative vector.
