A statue of George Washington is also in Druids a 15 m away from the statue and places a mirror 12 m from the statue (3 m from her feet)she can see the top of the statue in the mirror. The girl's height is How tall is the statue(draw a diagram and solve)

Answer 1



Let 'x' represent the height of the statue.

1 ft = 0.3048 m

5.5 ft = 5.5*0.3048 m

Using the similar triangles we can write:

x : 3 = 12 : (5.5*0.3048)

x = 21.47 m

The statue is 21.47 meters tall
