E N D
Yosemite Falls in California has three sections; the Upper Fall, Middle Cascade, and the lower Fall. From a bridge ½ mile away from the falls, the angles of elevation to the top and bottom of the Upper Yosemite Fall are 44.72 degrees and 23.81 degrees respectively. How high is Upper Fall section and the total series of all three falls?
