Not similar. The ratio of sides is not the same
Answer:
height ≈ 31 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The illustration below will form a right angle triangle. He is standing 17 ft away from the base of the statue. The angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the statue is 61°. The height of the statue can be computed below.
adjacent side of the triangle = 17 ft
opposite side = a
Using SOHCAHTOA principle
tan 61° = opposite/adjacent
tan 61° = a/17
cross multiply
a = 17 tan 61°
a = 17 × 1.80404775527
a = 30.6688118396
a ≈ 31 ft
Answer:
The scale of the map is inch = 20 feet.
This statement must be incorrect or the fraction of the inch is missing.
Because 6" long, at a scale of one inch = 20 feet, would only be 120 feet x 120 feet.
120 x 120 = 14,000 ft^2 and each of the four quadrants wouls only be 3600 ft^2.
