Let us denote by the variable t the time and by the variable x the distance along the path starting from the bottom of the hill. Then we have two continuous functions, f, g : I = [6am, 6pm] → [0, A], where A is the distance to the t ...

... In the example of the airplane, the function f gives the altitude of the plane at time t. Since the plane has an altitude at all times between 9:00 AM and 9:15 AM, the function is continuous on the interval [9:00 AM, 9:15 AM]. Using the designations from the formal statement of the theorem, a = 9 : ...
