+20 A 6 foot tall woman is standing 21 ft from a statue. She must look up at an angle of 45 degrees to see the top of the statue. How tall is the statue?
Im not understanding these word problems, please help.
+36916 We will find the height ABOVE her 6ft height by
tan45 = height / 21 (tan = opp/ adj adj would be the 21 feet distance opp is the height)
21 tan 45 = height = 21 ft
now add her 6ft height 27 feet tall
