    Answer:

    x = 445.9\,m

    Explanation:

    The velocity of sound in air at 20 °C is 343 meters per second. The distance of mountain can be derived by the following expression:

    2\cdot x = v_{air}\cdot \Delta t

    x = \frac{v_{air}\cdot \Delta t}{2}

    x = \frac{(343\,\frac{m}{s} )\cdot (2.6\,s)}{2}

    x = 445.9\,m
