I see the cosine in problem 7 and I see the cotangent in problem eight. So I know that you're talking about trig functions in class. Problem 9 is trying to find out if you know what they're good for. You have a right triangle and you know the lengths of all three sides. So you can easily find the sine or the cosine or the tangent or the cotangent of the angle. Pick one and calculate the number. Then use your calculator to find the angle that has that number for the trig function that you chose.

be rectangular prism and rectangular pyramid have the same volume. determine the value of x, the height of the pyramid.

Marina CMI [18]

ANSWER

$x= 9 \: in$

EXPLANATION

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula,

$V = l \times b \times h$
We substitute the dimensions to obtain,

$V = 6 \times 3 \times 12 \: {in}^{3}$

The volume of the rectangular pyramid is,

$V = \frac{1}{3} \times 6 \times 12 \times x \: {in}^{3}$

Equating the two volumes gives,

$\frac{1}{3} \times 6 \times 12 \times x = 6 \times 3 \times 12$

We divide through by 6×12 to get,

$\frac{x}{3}=3$

We solve for x to obtain,

$x = 3 \times 3$

$x = 9 \: in$
