Draw the figure:
\n" ); document.write( "Vertical segment, length y.
\n" ); document.write( "Horizontal segment at right angle to bottom of the vertical segment; length x and extend this by 20 more units for length x+20.
\n" ); document.write( "Point P is at the end of length x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28y%2Fx=tan%2858%29%2Cy%2F%28x%2B20%29=tan%2828%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Two equations in x and y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Evaluate this: \"y=%2820%2Atan%2828%29%29%2F%281-tan%2828%29%2Ftan%2858%29%29\"
