A statue 4 meters high is standing on a base of 5 meters high. If an observer's eye is 2.0 meters above the ground, how far (in meters) should he stand from the base in order that the angle subtended by the statue is a maximum? (Note: Illustrations must be included in the solution and round off final answer to 2 decimal places.)
