The height of the statue is 19.5 feet.
Why?
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)
Using the trignometric formula, we have:
First triangle:
Second triangle:
Now, the total height of the statue will be:

Answer:
To find the scale factor of the enlargement, compare the distance between a pair of corresponding points from both shapes.
<u>Shape K</u>
A = (4, 7)
B = (7, 7)
C = (7, 4)
D = (5, 5)
Horizontal distance between A (4, 7) and B (7, 7) = 3 units
<u>Shape L</u>
A' = (0, 11)
B' = (9, 11)
C' = (9, 2)
D' = (3, 5)
Horizontal distance between A' (0, 11) and B' (9, 11) = 9 units
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Therefore, Shape L is an enlargement of Shape K by scale factor 3.
To find the center of dilation (enlargement), draw two lines through 2 corresponding points (e.g. A and A', B and B') - the point of intersection of these lines is the center of dilation.
Therefore, the center of enlargement is (6, 5) (refer to the second attached image).
