Answer:

The height of the statue is 21.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

A person is standing 50 ft from a statue

The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 16 degree when staring at the top of the statue

hen the person looks down at an angle of depression of 8 degree when staring at the base of the statue

Firstly, we will draw diagram

In triangle ABF:

FC=50

we can use trig formula

tan(16)=\frac{y}{50}

y=50tan(16)

y=14.33727ft

now, we can find x

In triangle DEF:

we can use trig formula

tan(8)=\frac{x}{50}

x=50tan(8)

x=7.0270ft

we can see that

height of statue =x+y

so, the height of statue is

=14.33727+7.0270

=21.4ft

Add 5/9 + 7/12 .Enter your answer below as a fraction in lowest terms, using the
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

1 5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

need a common denominator which would be 36

to get from 9 to 36 you multiply by 4 so 5 would be multiplied by 4 to get the fraction 20/36

do the same with 7/12 12x3 is 36 and 7x3 is 21 so 21/36

then add 20+21=41

put over 36       41/36

Find if you can lower it which you can:

41 is bigger than 36 by 5 so your ending fraction would be 1 and 5/36 because 5 and 36 don't have a common factor.
