Answer:
x = 10 , y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 10 and 7x are alternate angles and are congruent , then
8x - 10 = 7x ( subtract 7x from both sides )
x - 10 = 0 ( add 10 to both sides )
x = 10
Then
8x - 10 = 8(10) - 10 = 80 - 10 = 70
6y + 20 and 8x - 10 are same- side interior angles and sum to 180°, that is
6y + 20 + 70 = 180
6y + 90 = 180 ( subtract 90 from both sides )
6y = 90 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y = 15

Answer:
5507.79 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the height of the mountain, we can draw triangles as in the image attached.
Let's call the height of the mountain 'h', and the distance from the first point (31 degrees) to the mountain 'x'.
Then, we can use the tangent relation of the angles:
tan(34) = h/x
tan(31) = h/(x+1000)
tan(31) is equal to 0.6009, and tan(34) is equal to 0.6745, so:
h/x = 0.6745 -> x = h/0.6745
using this value of x in the second equation:
h/(x+1000) = 0.6009
h/(h/0.6745 + 1000) = 0.6009
h = 0.6009 * (h/0.6745 + 1000)
h = 0.8909*h + 600.9
0.1091h = 600.9
h = 600.9 / 0.1091 = 5507.79 feet
