Answer:

56 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let the leaning tower's be h meters tall, when it was originally built.

We can see from our attachment that the side with length 55.86 meters is hypotenuse and h is adjacent side for 4 degree angle.

Since we know that cosine relates the adjacent and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

\text{Cos}=\frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

Upon substituting our given values we will get,

\text{Cos (4)}=\frac{55.86}{h}

h=\frac{55.86}{\text{Cos (4)}}

h=\frac{55.86}{0.99756405026}

h=55.996\approx 56                      

Therefore, the leaning tower was approximately 56 meters, when it was originally built.

A large emerald with a mass of 378.24 grams was recently discovered in a mine. If the density of the emerald is 2.76grams over c
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Volume of emerald = 137.04cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mass of emerald = 378.24grams

Density of emerald = 2.76grams/cm³

Volume = ?

The equation for this relationship is ρ = m / V in which ρ is density, m is mass (kg or g) and V is volume (cm³ or m³) making the density unit kg/m³ or g/cm³.

Therefore

Density = mass/volume

Volume = Mass/density

i.e

Volume of emerald = Mass of emerald / Density of emerald

Volume of emerald = 378.24grams / 2.76grams/cm³

Volume of emerald = 137.043cm³ ~137.04cm³

Volume of emerald =137.04cm³
