The angle of elevation from Madison to the top of the Statue of Liberty is 79 degrees. If Madison is standing 58.2 feet from its base and she is 5 feet tall what is the height of the Statue of Liberty SHOW WORK PLEASE

Question
Answer:
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following information given in the problem:

 - The angle of elevation from Madison to the top of the Statue of Liberty is 79 degrees.
 - Madison is standing 58.2 feet from its base.

 -Madison is 5 feet tall.

 2. Therefore, you have:

 Sinα=opposite/hypotenuse

 Sin(79°)=x/58.2
 x=(58.2)(Sin(79°))
 x=57.13 ft

 3. Now, you can calculate the height of the Statue of Liberty, as below:

 height=x+5 ft
 height=57.13 ft+5 ft
 height=62.13 ft

 4. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: 62.13 ft
