The Spring Temple statue of Buddha in Lushan China is the world’s tallest statue. It is 128 metres tall and stands on a pedestal that is 25 metres high. Making the monument in total 153 metres tall. You are 1.6 metres tall and are standing on the ground away from the statue. The angle of elevation from your eyes to the foot of the Buddha 15⁰, what is the angle of elevation from your eyes to the top of the statue?

let x=your distance from the foot of the monument.
128=height of buddah
25=height of pedestal
1.6 =your height
15=angle of elevation
∮=angle of elevation of ur eyes to the top of statue

sol'n
solve first the distance x
tan(15)=(25-1.6)/x
x=87.23

next, solve the angle ∮
tan∮=(153-1.6)/87.23
tan∮=1.7337
∮=arctan(1.7337)
∮=60.023 degrees
