Answer:
148ft
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, you'll have to imagine the statue makes a right angle triangle with the base since it has an angle of elevation from the base to the top of the torch.
Assuming the height from the pedestal to the top of the torch is y
The height of the statue is x
But we know the height of the pedestal = 150ft
The distance from the observer to the base of the pedestal = 250ft
And the angle of elevation = 50°
See attached document for better illustration.
Tanθ = opposite / adjacent
θ = 50°
Adjacent = 250
Opposite = y
Tan50 = t / 250
y = 50 × tan50
y = 50 × tan50
y = 50 × 1.1917
y = 297.925ft
The height of the statue from the base of the pedestal to the top of the torch is 297.925ft
The height of the statue = x
x = (height of the statue + height of the pedestal) - height of the pedestal
x = y - 150
x = 297.925 - 150
x = 147.925ft
Approximately 148ft
The height of the statue is 148ft
I'm assuming you're looking to find the expanded form of the number?
This number is in scientific notation. The easiest way to convert it to a normal number is to move the decimal place 14 to the right. I've attached a picture showing how to do this. You should get 630,000,000,000,000
There's a faster way to do this - notice that you need to move the decimal 14 to the right, and there's one number already after the decimal place. Therefore, 13 places will be filled with zeros. So, just write out 63 and add 13 zeros.
