Answer:
area is equal to 198 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
the height h of the left triangle can be obtained by
Pytagoras theorem:
the, the area of the left triangle is
the area of the right triangle is
and the area of the rectangle in the middle is
Por tanto, el area total sera
Please find the attached diagram for a better understanding of the question.
As we can see from the diagram,
RQ = 21 feet = height of the hill
PQ = 57 feet = Distance between you and the base of the hill
SR= h=height of the statue
=Angle subtended by the statue to where you are standing.
= which is unknown.
Let us begin solving now. The first step is to find the angle which can be found by using the following trigonometric ratio in
:
Which gives to be:
Now, we know that and
can be added to give us the complete angle
in the right triangle
.
We can again use the tan trigonometric ratio in to solve for the height of the statue, h.
This can be done as:
Thus, the height of the statue is approximately, 8.45 feet.
