Mathematician and surveyor from Bengal, was the first state as the highest peak Mount Everest through trigonometric calculations in 1852. This calculation is done using a theodolite from a distance of 150 miles away in India. Some Indians believe that these peaks should be named according

This mountain has a height of about 8850 m, although there are variations in terms of size (both Nepal and the Chinese government has not officially endorsed this measure, the height of Mount Everest is still considered to be 8848 m by them). Mount Everest was first measured in 1856 has a height of 8839 m, but is stated as 8840 m (29,002 ft). Additional 0.6 m (2 ft) shows that at that time the exact height of 29,000 feet will be considered as a rounded estimate. General assessment used at present is 8850 m that is obtained through reading Global Positioning System (GPS). Himalaya mountain is still rising higher due to tectonic plate movement area.

Mount Everest is a mountain whose top reaches the farthest distance from the sea face. Two other mountains are sometimes also referred to as "the highest mountain in the world" is Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which is the highest when measured from the base at the bottom of the sea, but only reaches a height of 4170 m above sea paras and Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador, a peak 2150 m higher than the earth's center than Mount Everest, because the Earth's equator mengembung in the region. However, Chimborazo only reached an altitude of 6272 m above sea face, so that not even the highest peak in the Andes.

Basic deepest in the ocean deeper than the height of Everest: the Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench, so if the mountain in the Himalayas to put in it, there are nearly 1.6 km of water covering it.
