Statue B
Х
Statue C
14 If the total combined height of the 3 statues is 34.5 inches, find the height of
Statue B.

Answer 1

Answer: B is 11 feet tall

A=x+1 since A is one more than B

C=x+1/2 since C is one half more than B

B=x since B is just B

A+B+C=34.5

x+1+x+x+1/2=34.5

3x+1.5=34.5

3x=33

x=11

B is 11 feet tall
