Answer:
the angle of elevation is 12.56°
Step-by-step explanation:
the height of the ramp represents the opposite side and the length of the ramp the hypotenuse
we see that it has (angle, hypotenuse, opposite)
well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse
a: adjacent
o: opposite
h: hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
cos α= a/h
tan α = o/a
we choose the one with opposite and hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
sin α = 5ft / 23ft
sin α = 5/23
α = sin^-1 ( 5/23)
α = 12.56°
the angle of elevation is 12.56°
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
400 units³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume (V) of the square pyramid is
V =  area of base × height (h)
 area of base × height (h)
where h is the perpendicular height.
Consider the right triangle formed by a segment from the vertex to the midpoint of the base and the slant height ( the hypotenuse )
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle
h² + 5² = 13²
h² + 25 = 169 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
h² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )
h =  = 12
 = 12
Area of square base = 10² = 100, hence
V =  × 100 × 12 = 4 × 100 = 400
 × 100 × 12 = 4 × 100 = 400
