A simple measuring device is used at points X and Y on the same horizontal level to measure the angles of elevation of the peak P of a certain mountain. If X is known to 5,200m above sea level, /XY/ = 4,000m and the measurements of the angles of elevation of P at X and Y are 15° and 35° respectively, find the height of the mountain. (Take \(\tan 15 = 0.3\) and \(\tan 35 = 0.7\))
