Sarah sights the top of the statue of the liberty at an angle of elevation of 61 degrees. If Sarah is 5.5 feet tall and is stand
ing 166 feet from the base of the statue, find its height
1 answer:
Angle of elevation= 61°
Height of Sarah =h = 5.5ft
Distance(from base of statue) between Sarah and statue = 166 ft
Now,
tan(61°)= H/166
H= 299.47 ft
but in the height H you also add the height of of Sarah then you get the height of statue.
Height of <span>statue of the liberty = H+h
= 299.47+5.5
= 304.97 ft</span>
Height of Sarah =h = 5.5ft
Distance(from base of statue) between Sarah and statue = 166 ft
Now,
tan(61°)= H/166
H= 299.47 ft
but in the height H you also add the height of of Sarah then you get the height of statue.
Height of <span>statue of the liberty = H+h
= 299.47+5.5
= 304.97 ft</span>

Now you could evaluate the integral as-is, but it's really much easier to do if we convert to polar coordinates.
