Answer:
Step 1 is incorrect because it was mutiplied. Instead, you should divide.
Step-by-step explanation:
An
amusement park ride has a moving platform attached to four swinging arms. The
platform swings back and forth, higher and higher, until it goes over the top
and around in a circular motion. In the diagram below, AD and BC represent two of the swinging arms, and DC <span>is parallel to the ground
</span>(line l). Explain
why the moving platform AB <span>is always parallel to the ground.</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
well, by using definition of tan of an angle
let the distance between Earth and shooting star is
.
since
,
then 
Lateral surface area just means the surface area, but excluding the top and base, so for a pyramid the lateral surface area would just be the surface area of all four triangles.
To find the surface area of the four triangles, you first do base × height = 32 × 24 = 768, and then divide that by 2 which is 384. Now you can just multiply this by 4 and get your answer as 1,536 square centimeters.
I hope this helps!
