The Statue of Liberty is about 300 feet tall and about 30 feet wide. The town of Unionville is building a smaller model for their Fourth of July celebration. Unionville's statue will be 3 feet wide.

Tall : Width

300 : 30

x : 3

By cross multiplication

3(300) = 30(x)

900 = 30x

900/30 = x

30 = x

answer: the angel abc is 30°,and the abc is a triangle where the angel bac is 90°

so ac is the half of 24=12ft,and from the pythagorean theorem we find ba

ba=√bc^2-ac^2=√576-144=√432=12√3ft

so bac is 12+12√3=12(1+√3)ft

-3.5 degrees per hour

step-by-step explanation:

find the unit rate:

-12   1/4 degrees           12.25 degrees

= - = -3.5 degrees per hour

      3   1/2 hours               3.5 hours
