Answer:

Approx 61.554 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are dealing with the opposite and adjacent sides, we will use tangent as our ratio.

Since the angle of elevation is 72 degrees, the left side of our equation is $tan(72)$ .

The right side of the equation is opposite over adjacent.

$x/20$

Set these equal to each other.

$tan(72) = x/20$

Simplify.

$20 tan(72)=x$

$20(3.078) = x$

x is approximately 61.554.

torisob [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone can be derived by writing an expression that represents the volume of one cone within the cylinder.

the expression for the volume of a cylinder is

$volume-of-cylinder= \pi r^2h$

the volume of a cone is a part of the volume of a cylinder

$volume-of-cone= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h$

Hence the volume of a cone can be derived by dividing the volume of a cylinder by 3

Point F' corresponds to point D. point E'. point F. point E.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

F' corresponds to point F

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point is the result of some transformation, we often designate that result using the base name of the original, with a prime (') added. In this case, we expect that F' is the transformation of point F.

Comment on point naming

Of course, points can be given any name you like. These conventions are adopted to aid in communication about transformations and correspondence between points. It would be unusual--even confusing, but not unreasonable, for point F' to correspond to point D, for example. In the case of certain transformations, point F' may actually be point D.
