Tan x = 292 / 131 where x = angle of elevation

x = 65.84 degrees

Tanα=height/shadow

α=arctan(height/shadow)

α=arctan(292/131)°

α≈65.84° (to nearest hundredth of a degree)

Suppose the height of the pyramid is 20 yards. What is the pyramid's volume?

DedPeter [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 1500 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation :

Formula used to calculate the volume of square pyramid is:

$V=\frac{a^2\times h}{3}$

where,

V = volume of pyramid

a = base edge of pyramid

h = height of pyramid

Given:

Base edge of pyramid = 15 yards

Height of pyramid = 20 yards

Now putting all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$V=\frac{a^2\times h}{3}$

$V=\frac{(15\text{ yrads})^2\times (20\text{ yards})}{3}$

$V=1500\text{ yards}^3$

Therefore, the volume of pyramid is 1500 cubic yards.

Mary Anne’s parakeet weighs 240g. Her cat weighs 3.1 kg. What is the difference, in grams, of the weights of her pets?

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

weights of parakeet = 240 g

Weight of cat = 3.1 kg = 3.1 * 1000 = 3100.0 g = 3100 g

difference = 3100 -240 = 2860 g
