Solve for m:
1.6 m - 4.8 = -1.6 m
Add 1.6 m to both sides:
1.6 m + 1.6 m - 4.8 = 1.6 m - 1.6 m
1.6 m - 1.6 m = 0:
1.6 m + 1.6 m - 4.8 = 0
1.6 m + 1.6 m = 3.2 m:
3.2 m - 4.8 = 0
Add 4.8 to both sides:
3.2 m + (-4.8 + 4.8) = 4.8
4.8 - 4.8 = 0:
3.2 m = 4.8
Divide both sides of 3.2 m = 4.8 by 3.2:
(3.2 m)/3.2 = 4.8/3.2
3.2/3.2 = 1:
m = 4.8/3.2
4.8/3.2 ≈ 1.5:
Answer: m ≈ 1.5
The 9 stands for hundredths
Well I don't know !
Let's take a look and see:
The idea is that there could be more than one way
for a roll of the dice to land with the same number.
-- If the sum is from 1-4, you get the point.
There are 6 different ways for a roll of the dice to come up 1-4.
-- If the sum is from 5-8, Adam gets the point.
There are 20 different ways for a roll of the dice to come up 5-8.
-- If the sum is 9-12, Lana gets the point.
There are 10 different ways for a roll of the dice to come up 9-12.
-- The game is not fair to all three of you.
-- Lana has a distinct advantage over you.
-- Adam has a big advantage over Lana.
-- Adam has an even bigger advantage over you.
-- You are at a big disadvantage. (Notice that one of your
numbers ... 1 ... can never come up unless one of the dice
falls off of the table.)

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:
Have a nice day!
