Answer:

height ≈ 31 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration below will form a right angle triangle. He is standing 17 ft away from the base of the statue.  The angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the statue  is 61°. The height of the statue can be computed below.

adjacent side of the triangle = 17 ft

opposite side = a

Using SOHCAHTOA principle

tan 61° = opposite/adjacent

tan 61° = a/17

cross multiply

a = 17 tan 61°

a = 17 × 1.80404775527

a = 30.6688118396

a ≈ 31 ft
