Find the height of the statue from the adjacent diagram.

1.	Find the height of the statue from the adjacent diagram.
Answer» From the given diagram Height of the statue (BC) = x m Height of the Pedastal (AB) = 1.9 m Total Height (AC) = 3.6 m BC + AB = 3.6 m ⇒ x + 1.9 m = 3.6 m ⇒ x + 1.9 – 1.9 = 3.6 – 1.9 (Subtract 1.9 on both sides) ⇒ x = 1.7 m ∴ Height of the statue = 1.7 m

Answer»

From the given diagram

Height of the statue (BC) = x m

Height of the Pedastal (AB) = 1.9 m

Total Height (AC) = 3.6 m

BC + AB = 3.6 m

⇒ x + 1.9 m = 3.6 m

⇒ x + 1.9 – 1.9 = 3.6 – 1.9 (Subtract 1.9 on both sides)

⇒ x = 1.7 m

∴ Height of the statue = 1.7 m
