Answer:

Correct answer:  Db = 411 .18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

α = 27°  angle of depression

Dt = 462 ft  distance from the top of lighthouse to the boat

Db = ?   distance from the base of the lighthouse to the boat

Here we have a right triangle with hypotenuse Dt and one leg Db.

By definition

cos α = Db / Dt  ⇒ Db = Dt · cos α

Db = 462 · cos 27° = 462 · 0.89 = 411 .18 ft

Db = 411 .18 ft

1. Solve for N
Add all terms together and set equal to 360
(4n)+(9n+2)+(8n-12)+(5n+6)=360
26N= 364
N= 14
M<A = 4(14)= 56
2.9(14)+2=128

A solid oblique pyramid has a square base with edges measuring x cm. The height of the pyramid is (x + 2) cm. Which expression r
zavuch27 [327]

we know that

the volume of a solid oblique pyramid is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}*B*h

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the pyramid

in this problem we have that

B is a square

B=b^{2}

where

<u>b=x\ cm</u>

so

B=x^{2}\ cm^{2}

h=(x+2)\ cm

substitute in the formula of volume

V=\frac{1}{3}*x^{2}*(x+2)\\ \\V=\frac{1}{3}*[x^{3} +2x^{2}]\ cm^{3}

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

V=\frac{1}{3}*[x^{3} +2x^{2}]\ cm^{3}
