    To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure below:

    1. You have that:

    - Sarah sights the top of the statue of liberty at an angle of elevation of 61°.

    - She is standing 166 feet from the base of the statue.

    - Sarah is 5.5 feet tall.

    2. Therefore, the heigth of the statute is:

    Tan (61°) = x/166

    x = (166) (Tan (61°)

    x=299.47 feet

    Height of the statue=299.47 feet+5.5 feet

    Height of the statue=304.97 feet
