Accepted Solution
A:
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure below:
1. You have that:
- Sarah sights the top of the statue of liberty at an angle of elevation of 61°.
- She is standing 166 feet from the base of the statue.
- Sarah is 5.5 feet tall.
2. Therefore, the heigth of the statute is:
Tan(61°)=x/166 x=(166)(Tan(61°) x=299.47 feet
Height of the statue=299.47 feet+5.5 feet Height of the statue=304.97 feet
