Answer:

The height of the elephant is \dfrac{15}{\sqrt3}\ ft.      

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between a person and an elephant is 15 ft

The angle of elevation of the elephant is 30 degrees.

We need to find the height of the elephant. For this let us consider that height is h. So,

\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\tan(30)=\dfrac{h}{15}\\\\h=15\times \tan(30)\\\\h=\dfrac{15}{\sqrt3}\ ft

So, the height of the elephant is \dfrac{15}{\sqrt3}\ ft.

A right circular cylinder has a diameter of 16 mm and a height of 12 mm. what is the volume of the cylinder in terms of π?
valina [46]
Volume of the cylinder = hr²π

diameter = 2 × radius
16 = 2 × r
r = 16/2
r = 8 mm

V = hr²π
V = 12 × 8² × π
V = 12 × 64 × π
V = 768π  mm³

How can you divide 133 nickels into 8 bags so that there are the same number of nickels in each bag and the number in each bag i
MaRussiya [10]
There is no way to divide them because 133 is odd, so 133 divided by 8 would be 16.625.
