The Candle of Gratitude Informations

The Candle of Gratitude Monument is one of the best monuments in Moldova. The monument was initiated by Ion Druta and it is built on the rocks between the Nistru River and the Bechir ravine. It is also considered as a very special work of art for another reason. It is actually built in the memory of the cultural monuments in Moldova that were destroyed in the past. Time stands still when it passes through this monument. It is a silent witness of many hopes and agonies, dreams and hard works of many past generations.

Calculations

AF- 30m (Height)

BC- 8m (Width)

Perimeter-?

Area -? Solving:

Area Formula: ���� ��

Area=������ �� =����������

Perimeter Formula : AB+BC+AC

Triangle ABC-Isosceles →[����]≡[����],

According to the Pythagorean Theorem: ������ =������ +������

AC=√������ +������ =√������ +���� ≈����.����, AB=AC=30.3m

Perimeter= 30.3+30.3+8=68.6 m
