A person was standing on a road near a mall. He was 1425 m away from the mall and able to see the top of the mall from the road in such a way that the top of a tree, which is in between him and the mall, was exactly in line of sight with the top of the mall. The height of the tree is 10 m and it is 30 m away from him. How tall (in m) is the mall?
