1.) In an attempt to determine the height of one of the Liberty statues atop the Liberty Building in downtown Buffalo, I walked directly backwards from the bottom of the building until my eyes made a line-of-sight at an angle of inclination of 45 to the bottom of the statue. I continued to walk directly backwards precisely 100 more feet and now found the angle of inclination of my eyes to the bottom of the statue to be 37.56. From that location, I then looked directly at the top of the statue and found the angle of inclination to be 40.437.
