+26389 P and Q are two bases for a mountain climb. PQ is 600 m and QR is a vertical stretch of a rock ace. The angle of elevation of Q from P is 31^{\circ}, and the angle of elevation of R from P is 41^{\circ}. Use the sine law in \triangle PQR to calculate the height of the vertical climb, QR, to the nearest metre.

\(\begin{array}{rcll} \frac{ \sin(41^{\circ}-31^{\circ}) } {h} &=& \frac{ \sin(90^{\circ}-41^{\circ}) }{600\ m} \\\\ \frac{ \sin(10^{\circ}) } {h} &=& \frac{ \sin(49^{\circ}) }{600\ m} \\\\ \frac {h} { \sin(10^{\circ}) } &=& \frac{600\ m} { \sin(49^{\circ}) }\\\\ h &=& \frac{\sin(10^{\circ})} { \sin(49^{\circ}) } \cdot 600\ m \\\\ h &=& \frac{0.17364817767} {0.75470958022} \cdot 600\ m \\\\ h &=& 0.23008609168 \cdot 600\ m \\\\ h &=& 138.0516550080\ m \\\\ \mathbf{h} & \mathbf{=} & \mathbf{138\ m}\\ \end{array} \)
