The question is find the height of the tree, given that at two points 65 feet apart on the same side of the tree and in line with it, the angles of elevaton of the top of the tree are  21° 19' and 16°20'.

1) Convert the angles to decimal form:

19' * 1°/60' = 0.32° => 21° 19' = 21.32°

20' * 1°/60' = 0.33° => 16° 20' = 16.33°

2) Deduce the trigonometric ratios from the verbal information.

You can form a triangle with

- horizontal leg  x + 65 feet
- elevation angle 16.33°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h

=> trigonometric ratio: tan (16.33) = h /( x + 65) => h = (x+65) * tan(16.33)

You can form a second triangle with:

-  horizontal leg x
- elevation angle 21.32°
- vertical leg height of the tree, h
 
=> trigonometric ratio: tan(21.32) = h / x  => h = x * tan(21.32)

Now equal the two expressions for h:

(x+65)*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)

=> x*tan(16.33) + 65*tan(16.33) = x*tan(21.32)
=> x*tan(21.32) - x*tan(16.33) = 65*tan(16.33)
=> x = 65*tan(16.33) / [ tan(21.32) - tan(16.33) ] = 195.73 feet

=> h = 195.73 * tan(21.32) = 76.39 feet.

Answer: 76.39 feet

The sides of the base of a right square pyramid are 4 m in length , and its slant height is 8 m. If the lengths of the sides of
hram777 [196]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the total surface area of a regular pyramid is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces and its base, therefore it would be equal to:

As = 1/2 * p * h + l ^ 2

where l are the sides that measure 4, p is the perimeter that is the sum of the sides, and since there are 4 sides then it would be 16 (4 * 4), h the inclined height is 8, replacing we are left with:

As = 1/2 * 16 * 8 + 4 ^ 2

Ace = 80

Now, they say that the sides and the tilt height are multiplied by 4, the sides now measures 16, therefore the perimeter is 64 (4 * 16), the height would be 32, replacing would be:

As = 1/2 * 64 * 32 + 16 ^ 2

As = 1280

Therefore the factor would be:

1280/80 = 16

This means that to calculate the new surface area, it must be multiplied by the square of the number by which the sides and the inclined height are multiplied, that is, 4 ^ 2 = 16.

Simplify the expression.
Anna71 [15]

Since we have a cubic root, we're interested in factoring cubes inside the root, so that we can take them out. If we factor 648, we have

648=2^3\times 3^4=2^3\times 3^3\times 3 = (2\times 3)^3\times 3 = 3\times 6^3

So, we have

3x\sqrt[3]{648 x^4 y^8} = \sqrt[3]{3\times 6^3\cdot x^3\cdot x \cdot y^6\cdot y^2}=3x\cdot 6\cdot x\cdot y^2\sqrt[3]{3\cdot x\cdot y^2}

And the result simplifies to

18x^2y^2\sqrt[3]{3xy^2}

x = 3000

i) 3000 + 2400= 5400

ii) 3000

iii) 3000 - ( 2400+400) = 200

Given parameters:

The value given is 16

Problem is to find the factors of 16

A factor is any number that divides another number into equal parts without any remainder.

 For 16, the factors are:

                 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 and 16

These numbers will divide 16 into equal parts. A number is a factor of itself.

1 is a factor of any number.

So, the five factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16
