The statue's height is 152 feet. To answer this question: The total height of the Statue of Liberty alongside its pedestal is 305 feet, which is 153 feet more than the statue’s height. You can derive the height h of the statue using the formula.
B refers to the base of the triangle,
and a signifies the length of the two identical sides.
The measurement labeled as 'a' is larger than 'b' since those equal sides are longer than the base. Given "one of the longer sides measures 6.3 cm," we assign a = 6.3.
Substitute 6.3 for each 'a' in the equation and solve for b:
2a + b = 15.7
2(6.3) + b = 15.7
12.6 + b = 15.7
b = 15.7 - 12.6 (applying subtraction property of equality)
b = 3.1
