the question in the attached figure


we know that


Right triangles PBM and MTF are similar 

because

angle PMB=angle TMF

and

angle BPM=angle FTM

and 

angle B =angle F=90 degrees

so

corresponding sides are

BM and MF

PB and TF

PM and MT

(PB/TF)=BM/MF

solve for PB

PB=(TF*BM)/MF

where

TF=6ft

BM=20 ft

MF=3 ft

so

PB=(6*20)/3------> 40 ft


the answer is

the height of the peak is 40 ft
