GOLD RUSH You need to help the fellows on the show Gold Rush. They are losing gold through their slew and can't figure out why. They call Mr. Drosopoulos' class because they know we can get the job done and maximize their gold outcome. Doing this job, we get 5% of their gold profits. So far, they have a 30 ft slew. From the top of the slew (where it is connected to the machine) to the base of the machine is 26 ft. We don't know what the angle of elevation is, but we know in order to get the riffles to catch the gold efficiently, the angle of elevation has to be at 33°. In order to set the slew at an angle of 33° (we don't have any way to measure the angle), how much do we have to raise or lower the slew from its previous position?
