Cloud Height Visual Flight Rules require that the height of the clouds be more than 1000 ft for a pilot to fly without instrumentation. At night, cloud height can be determined from the ground by using a search light and an observer as shown in the figure. If the beam of light is aimed straight upward and the observer 500 ft away sights the cloud with an angle of elevation of 55°, then what is the height of the cloud cover?
