Sagot :

Answer:

16642.1 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Elevation of Mt. Wilson = x

If the elevation of snow crest = y

Snow crest = 11,508.21 feet higher than Mt. Wilson

Hence, y = 11,508.21 + x

The elevation of Mt. Wilson, x = y - 11,508.21  feets

From the table, elevation of Snow crest = 28,150.31 feets = y

Hence, The elevation of Mt. Wilson, x = y - 11,508.21  feets

x = 28,150.31 - 11,508.21

x = 16642.1 feets
