The Statue of Liberty is approximatly 91.5 meters tall from the base of the pedestal to the tip of the torch. If a theodolite were placed 100 meters from the base of the pedestal, about how far would the theodolite be from the top of the torch?
Subtract 91.5 m. from 100 m.
To find out how far the theodolite is from the top of the torch, we can subtract the height of the Statue of Liberty (91.5 meters) from the distance between the theodolite and the base of the pedestal (100 meters).
Subtracting 91.5 meters from 100 meters, we get:
100 meters - 91.5 meters = 8.5 meters
Therefore, the theodolite would be approximately 8.5 meters away from the top of the torch.
