Answer:

148ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, you'll have to imagine the statue makes a right angle triangle with the base since it has an angle of elevation from the base to the top of the torch.

Assuming the height from the pedestal to the top of the torch is y

The height of the statue is x

But we know the height of the pedestal = 150ft

The distance from the observer to the base of the pedestal = 250ft

And the angle of elevation = 50°

See attached document for better illustration.

Tanθ = opposite / adjacent

θ = 50°

Adjacent = 250

Opposite = y

Tan50 = t / 250

y = 50 × tan50

y = 50 × tan50

y = 50 × 1.1917

y = 297.925ft

The height of the statue from the base of the pedestal to the top of the torch is 297.925ft

The height of the statue = x

x = (height of the statue + height of the pedestal) - height of the pedestal

x = y - 150

x = 297.925 - 150

x = 147.925ft

Approximately 148ft

The height of the statue is 148ft

The question is incorrect. X is not defined UNLESS the hexagon is a regular hexagon, which means that all sides are equal (given) AND all angles are equal (not given).

Error in question aside, and  ASSUMING the hexagon is regular, you can apply the principle that
1. the sum of exterior angles of ANY polygon is 360.
2. the sum of exterior angles and interior angles at EACH vertex is 180.
3. Multiply sum from (2) above by the number of vertices and subtract 360 gives the sum of the interior angles.
4. IF the polygon is regular (all angles equal), then each interior angle equals the result from (3) divided by n, the number of vertices.

Example for a regular heptagon (7 sides, 7 verfices).
1. Sum of exterior angles = 360
2. sum of interior and exterior angles at EACH vertex=180
3. multiply 180 by 7, subtract 360
180*7-360=900
4. since heptagon is regular, each interior angle equals 900/7=128.57 deg.

Find the y intercept and x of the following linear equation 3/4x-2y=5
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Just go ahead and subtract 3/4x and bring it to the other side so it should look like this -2y=5-3/4x then go ahead and divide with negative two

Jake has $4,000 invested at 8% annual interest. He has $2,800 more to invest. At what rate
schepotkina [342]

Step-by-step explanation:

with $4,000 invested, Jake has

8% × $4,000 = $320 annually.

in order to have annual interest $628, he has to get more interest $(628-320) = $308.

the rate should be:

308/2800 × 100%

= 308 /2800 × 100%

= 11%
