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:

A pair of the opposite sides of a hexagon has equal length and this is proved below.
<h3>How to illustrate the hexagon?</h3>It should be noted that a hexagon is a polygon that has six sides.
In this case, it has 6 sides.
The total angles will be:
= (n - 2) × 180
= (6 - 2) × 180
= 720°
Each angle will hence be:
= 720°/6
= 120°
Each angle are equal and this illustrates that the parallel sides are equal.
A diagram is attached to illustrate the pair of parallel sides.
