Answer:  The correct option is (A) \dfrac{x^2(x+2)}{3}~\textup{cubic inches.}

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a right pyramid with a square base has a base length of x inches and the height is two inches longer than the length of the base.

We are to select the correct expression that represents the volume of the pyramid in terms of x.

We know that

VOLUME of a right pyramid with base area 'b' square units and height 'h' units is given by

A=\dfrac{1}{3}\times b\times h~\textup{sq. units.}

In the given square pyramid,

the base is a square with side length x inches, so the area of the base will be

b=x\times x=x^2~\textup{sq. inches.}

And, the height is 2 inches longer than the length of the base, so the height will be

h=(x+2)~\textup{inches.}

Therefore, the VOLUME of the regular pyramid is

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times b\times h=\dfrac{1}{3}\times x^2\times (x+2)=\dfrac{x^2(x+2)}{3}~\textup{cubic inches}.

Thus, the required volume is

\dfrac{x^2(x+2)}{3}~\textup{cubic inches}.

Option (A) is correct.

Jada is standing 10 feet from the base of the tree and spots a nest sitting on a branch. the angle of elevation from the ground
kogti [31]

Answer:

h = (10 ft)(1.428) = 14.28 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the height of the nest by h.  This is the vertical side of a triangle.  The horizontal side is 10 ft.

The following relationship is true:

tan 55 degrees = (opposite side) / (adjacent side), and in this case,

tan 55 degrees = h / 10 ft, so that:

h = height of nest = (10 ft)(tan 55 degrees), or

h = (10 ft)(1.428) = 14.28 ft
