We can use trigonometry to solve the problem. First draw a picture of the situation to understand what is going on (See the attached photo).

Next, we can use the tangent  function to solve for the height of the building:

tan(29^{\circ})= \frac{h}{71}

Next, rearrange the problem to solve for h:

h = 71tan(29^{\circ})

h = 39.356 ft

The volume of the cone is 130 units^3. Solve for x.<br> Height: 13<br> Radius: x
Gwar [14]
V=(1/3)hpir^2
v=130
h=13
r=x

130=(1/3)(13)pix^2
times both sides by 3
390=13pix^2
divide both sides by 13
30=pix^2
divide both sides by pi
30/pi=x^2
sqrt both sides
x≈3.09
radius is abou 3 units

Umnica [9.8K]

Solution:

<em>Simple Interest = Principal Amount × Rate of Interest/100 × Time</em>

Here, Principal Amount = $6000

Rate of Interest =  6%

Time = 4 years

Simple Interest = 6000 × 6/100 × 4 = <em>$1440</em>

Fofino [41]
15x^2 = 12x
divide each side by x
15x = 12
now divide each side by 15
x = 12/15 or 4/5 which is also 0.8
