Right Triangle Trig Pt. 2

A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain. From one point on the plain, they observe that the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is 25∘. From a point 2000 feet closer to the mountain along the plain, they find that the angle of elevation is 29∘. How high (in feet) is the mountain?
