Answer:

h=4tan\alpha

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the base is 8 feet wide. The height of the pyramid is at the middle of this width, which forms a right triangle, with the angles formed by one side of the pyramid and the base.

Now, to find the expression of the height, we can use these given information and the trigonometric reasons. Specifically, we would use the tangent from the trigonometric reasons, because the height is the opposite leg to the angle, and the adjacent leg would be 4. So, the expression would be:

tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\ tan\alpha=\frac{h}{4}\\ h=4tan\alpha

Therefore, the expression is h=4tan\alpha

Answer: An expression for the height is: H = (3/64)V

To start with, we will assume that it is a square pyramid, meaning all the sides of the base are 8 feet wide.

Now, we need the formula for the volume of a square pyramid.

V = BH/3

We know the area of the base, it is 8 x 8 = 64, so we can input that.

V = 64H/3   We can multiply by 3/64 to find an expression for the height of the fort.

(3/64)V = H

Simplify 30x-140-(x-4)
balu736 [363]

Answer:

x = 4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

30x - 140 -(x - 4)

Multiply the -1 into (x - 4)

30x - 140 - x + 4

Add/subtract

29x - 136 = 0

      +136

29x = 136

\frac{29x}{29} = \frac{136}{29}

x = 4.689655172413793

LenaWriter [7]
You would keep the 2 hour for the whole number of the mixed number and then, make the minutes (15) as a fraction with 60, and divide them both by 20. that is just for the mixed number.

The temperature of the sun is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. Use scientific notation to express the temperature.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know million has 6 zeros.

So, 1 million would be written as:

1,000,000

Similarly, 27 million would be written as:

27,000,000

We know writing a number in scientific notation would make this a decimal in 1 decimal place, so we would select "2.7" as the base of the scientific number.

Now, how many places to the right do we need to go (in 2.7) to make it 27,000,000?

Counting, we see:  7 places

So, power of 10 would be "7", thus we can write:

2.7*10^7

Answer choice A is right
