The angle of elevation from a point on the ground to the top of a pyramid is 31 degrees 10' The angle of elevation from a point 120 feet farther back to the top of the pyramid is 24 degrees 10'. Find the height of the pyramid.

h ≈ 209 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The illustration forms 2 right angle triangle with same height , which is the height of the pyramid.

The first triangle has an unknown adjacent side and height but the angle is 31° 10'. The larger triangle has adjacent side of 120 ft plus the adjacent side of the smaller triangle.

let

the adjacent side of the smaller triangle = a

recall both triangle have same height = h

Therefore,

tan 31° 10' = opposite/adjacent = h/a

tan 31.167 = h/a

h = a tan 31.167

h = 0.6048345941  a

The larger triangle

adjacent side = 120 + a

height = h

tan 24° 10' = h/120 + a

convert the minutes to degree

tan 24.167° = h/120 + a

cross multiply

120 + a tan 24.167 = h

120 + a (0.44872570999 ) = h

h = 53.8470851998  + 0.44872570999a

Therefore,

0.6048345941  a  = 53.8470851998  + 0.44872570999a

0.6048345941  a  - 0.44872570999a = 53.8470851998

0.1561094942 a = 53.8470851998

divide both sides by 0.1561094942

a = 53.8470851998 / 0.1561094942

a = 344.931520506

a ≈ 345 ft

The height can be computed as

tan 31.167 = h/a

h = 345 × tan 31.167

h = 345 × 0.6048345941

h = 208.667934967

h ≈ 209 ft

the naturalist literary movement was an extension of the realist literary movement, a movement that strove to portray life as it really was hope it

step-by-step explanation:

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
