Three cube shaped boxes are stacked one above the other the volumes of two of the boxes are 1331 m³ each and the volume of the t
Pepsi [2]
So to find out the answer, you need to find out the dimensions of each cube. So for the 1331, it's 11 x 11 x 11. So you know that would be 11 meters high. Now the next cube. Then there's another 1331, so that would be another 11 meters high. Then 729, also 9 x 9 x 9, so that's going to be 9 meters high. Then add all the cube square roots. 11 + 11 + 9 = 31. So the height of the stacked boxes will be 31 meters.

Find the height of the building below by using your knowledge of trigonometry.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

50\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure represents a 30-60-90 special triangle

in this special right triangle the measure of sides lengths is represented by

a, a\sqrt{3}, and 2a

The side length that sees angle measure 30 is represented by a and here we see a = 50m

The height of the building, which sees angle measure 60, is equal to

50\sqrt{3}
