L 26 A research team wishes to determine the altitude of a mountain as follows They use a laser light source at L mounted on a 2 meter pedestal to shine a light through the top of a pole P through the top of the mountain M The height of the pole is 20 meters The distance between the altitude of the mountain and the light is 1000 meters the distance between the pole and the light laser is 10 meters so the distance between the laser and the mountain is 1010 meters We assume right angles where they appear to be modeling assumptions Find the altitude of the mountain figures not drawn to scale light 2 m 10 m P pole 20 m 1000m M M mountain
