Since its a right triangle, you can use a² + b² = c²
one of the legs is a and the other leg is b it doesn't matter which one because its addition and works the same way c needs to be the hypotenuse
so its a² + 48² = 50²
a² + 2304 = 2500
- 2304 -2304
a² = 196
√a² = √196
a = 14
Answer:
7.3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The information given represents a right angle triangle with the following:
reference angle = 52°
Adjacent side length = 5.7 ft.
Opposite side length = height of the statue = h
Applying the trigonometric ratio formula, we would have:

Multiply both sides by 5.7


(nearest tenth)
X = the number
14 + 2x = 6x - 7
21 + 2x = 6x
21 = 4x
5.25 = x
The number is 5.25.
