    Angle of elevation = 61°

    Height of Sarah = h = 5.5ft

    Distance (from base of statue) between Sarah and statue = 166 ft

    Now,

    tan (61°) = H/166

    H = 299.47 ft

    but in the height H you also add the height of of Sarah then you get the height of statue.

    Height of statue of the liberty = H+h

    = 299.47+5.5

    = 304.97 ft
