Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

Let us suppose the sun has angle of elevation x

The triangle formed will be a right triangle, so

tan x= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tanx = \frac{6}{8}

taking tan inverse

x=tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{8} )

x=36.87

To the nearest degree, the angle will be 37 degrees.  :   Answer

Hope it will help :)

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is 14.1 feet and the height of the pyramid is
Korolek [52]

Answer:

= 868.1ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the square based pyramid = BH/3

B is the base area

H is the height of the pyramid

Base area = Length * Length

Base area = 14.1*14.1

BAse area = 198.81ft^2

Height = 13.1feet

Substitute

Volume = 198.81*13.1/3

Volume of the pyramid = 868.1ft^3

Hence the volume of a pyramid with the square base is 868.1ft^3

You spent m minutes studying on Monday On Tuesday you studied 15 more minutes than you did on Monday. Wednesday, you studied 30
Reika [66]

Answer: 7m - 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Monday = m

Tuesday = m + 15

Wednesday = m + 15 + 30 = m + 45

Thursday = 2 × m = 2m

Friday = 2m - 20

The expression will now be:

= m + m + 15 + m + 45 + 2m + 2m - 20

= 7m- 40
