As we could "drag" these together, we could then do it the easy way.

Or we could also do the following:

3:
63= 18.
Carry the one.
53 = 15+1 (which was carried). = 16
(16+8) = 168

Carry the one.

(16+8) = 168
The height of the statue is 19.5 feet.
Why?
We can solve the problem using trigonometric formulas. In this case, we are going to use the trigonometric formula of the tangent.
We know that the person is standing 50ft from the statue, so, it will be the base of the two triangles formed by both angles (elevation and depression)
Using the trignometric formula, we have:
First triangle:
Second triangle:
Now, the total height of the statue will be:
