25 is the answer to your question
Given:
Height of the Statue of Liberty = 305 feet
Angle of elevation = 9 degrees
To find:
The between the tourist and the Statue of Liberty.
Solution:
Using the given information, draw a figure as shown below.
In a right triangle,
In the triangle ABC,
Therefore, the tourist is standing 1926 feet from the Statue of Liberty.
a + b = 88 <span>
<span>
</span><span>ab = y
</span><span>
</span><span>a = 88 - b
</span><span>
</span><span>y = (88 - b)*b
</span>
<span>y = -b^2 + 88b
</span><span>
</span><span>Take the derivative and set equal to 0
</span><span>
</span><span>y' = -2b + 88 = 0
</span><span>
</span><span>2b = 88
</span>
<span>b = 44 </span></span>
<span><span>a=44</span></span>
<span><span> both numbers are 44</span></span>
I’m going to say b.66 because 3.14•10.5•2=65.94
I got 10.5 by dividing 21 by 2 because I guessed it was the diameter
