A surveyor is determining the height of a mountain. From some unknown distance away from the mountain, the line of sight to the peak of the mountain is elevated 25 degrees from the horizontal. When she walks 1 mile closer to the mountain, the line of sight to the peak of the mountain is now elevated 35 degrees from the horizontal. How tall is the mountain? Assume the ground that she walks on is perfectly flat.

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).
