(Step-by-Step) To determine which of these mountain peaks would actually be visible from Oahu, you need to consider that the tourist is standing on the shore


Question: To determine which of these mountain peaks would actually be visible from Oahu, you need to consider that the tourist is standing on the shore and looking "straight out" would have a line of sight tangent to the surface of the earth at that point.  Make a rough sketch of the right triangle formed by the tourist's line of sight, the radius from the center of the earth to the tourist, and a line from the center of the earth that passes through Mauna Kea .  Can you determine the angle formed at the center of the earth?
