If we discuss this as if it is a triangle then the "rise" is the vertical side and the "run" is the adjacent side.
So the ratio of the rise to the run is 8 / 15 which equals <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333 </span> </span> </span>
To find the angle of this roof pitch we look up the arc tangent of <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333  </span> </span> </span> and we find that is 28.072 Degrees

V = (1/3) π r² t

= (1/3) π (10 cm)². 16 cm

= (1/3) π (100 cm²). 16 cm

= (1/3) π (1600 cm³)

= (1600π)÷3 cm³ (B)

Benjamin is trying to find the height of a radio antenna on the roof of a local building.
xz_007 [3.2K]

The height of the antenna on the roof of the local building is approximately 8 meters.

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • One of its angles is equals to 90 degrees
  • The sides of the triangles can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

Therefore, let's find the height of the building and the radio antenna from the eye point.

Using trigonometric ratios,

tan 40° = opposite / adjacent

tan 40° = x / 25

where

x = the height of the building and the radio antenna from the eye point.

x = 25 tan 40

x = 25 × 0.83909963117

x = 20.9774907794 meters

Let's find the height of the building from his eye point.

tan 28° = y / 25

where

y = height of the building from his eye point

y = 25 × tan 28°

y = 25 × 0.53170943166

y = 13.2927357915 meters

Height of the antenna = 20.9774907794 - 13.2927357915 = 7.68475498786

Height of the antenna ≈ 8 meters
