Final Answer:
3.0508 × 10² feet

──────────────────────────────────────

Explanation:
- We need to add the height of the Statue of Liberty and the height of the pedestal.
- The statue is 1.5108 × 10² feet tall.
- The pedestal is 1.54 × 10² feet tall.
- Since both numbers have the same power of 10 (10²), we can just add the numbers in front:
→ 1.5108 + 1.54 = 3.0508
- Then we keep the × 10² part.
- So the total height is 3.0508 × 10² feet.

This is like adding 151.08 feet + 154 feet = 305.08 feet — but written in scientific notation.
