A person is standing 50 ft from a statue. The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 8 degrees when staring at the top of t
he statue. Then the person looks down at an angle of 14 degrees when staring at the base of the statue. How tall is the statue to the nearest tenth of a foot?
We can solve the problem using trigonometric formulas. In this case, we are going to use the trigonometric formula of the tangent.
We know that the person is standing 50ft from the statue, so, it will be the base of the two triangles formed by both angles (elevation and depression)
