Astudent would like to find the height of a statue. the length of the statue's right arm is 54 feet. the student's right arm is 2 feet long and her height is 5 and one third feet. use this information to find the height of the statue. how close is the approximate height to the statue's actual height of 143 feet, 9 inches from heel to top of head?

Assuming that the dimensions are proportional, we have the following relationship:

Where,

x: approximate height of the statue

Clearing the value of x we have:

On the other hand, we know that:

Then, in relative terms, the relationship between the heights of the statue is:

%

The approximate height of the statue is:

The difference with respect to the actual height is 1.7%.

The approximate height is 0.251 inches close to the statue's actual height of 143 feet, 9 inches from heel to top of head .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The length of the statue's right arm is 54 feet.

The student's right arm is 2 feet long and her height is 5 and one third feet.

To Find : How close is the approximate height to the statue's actual height of 143 feet, 9 inches from heel to top of head?

Solution:

Let the height of the statue be x

The length of the statue's right arm is 54 feet.

The student's right arm is 2 feet long

Ratio of their arms length = 54:2

Height of girl =

Ratio of their heights =

So,

So, the approximate height is 144 feet.

Actual height of statue is 143 feet, 9 inches =

So, the difference between approximate height and actual height:

= 144-143.749

=0.251

Hence the approximate height is 0.251 inches close to the statue's actual height of 143 feet, 9 inches from heel to top of head .
