Answer:

13.903 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height from the woman's eyes to the top of the sculpture be represented by x.

So that,

Tan 35 = [tex]\frac{x}{12}[/tex]

x = Tan 35 x 12

  = 0.70021 x 12

  = 8.4025

x = 8.403 feet

The height of the sculpture = The woman's eye level to the ground + x

                                              = 5 feet 6 inches + 8.403 feet

                                              = 5.50 feet + 8.403 feet

                                              =  13.903 feet

Thus, the sculpture has a height of 13.903 feet.
