Answer 1

x ≈ 2.7 m

Explanation:

since the 2 triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

`(x)/(1.6)` =
`(4)/(2.4)` ( cross- multiply )

2.4x = 4 × 1.6 = 6.4 ( divide both sides by 2.4 )

x =
`(6.4)/(2.4)` = 2.6666...

height of statue x ≈ 2.7 m ( to 1 decimal place )
