Question

Find the length of the base of the following pyramid, given the height of the pyramid is 221 meters and the angle of elevation of the base of the pyramid is 62°. Round to the nearest whole number.

An image of a square pyramid is shown with a right triangle embedded inside it. The face is at an incline of 62 degrees. The height is labeled 211, and the corner of the right angle is marked with a letter P.

75 meters
189 meters
235 meters
416 meters

Answer 1

Answer:I believe it would be answer choice, 235 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m not super good at explain but, the height and incline both go at the right slope when they interact. Have a good day, hope it helps.

Answer 2

The length of the pyramid's base would be:

C). 235 meters

Find the length of the base

Given that,

Height of the pyramid $= 221$

Elevation/angle of the base $= 62$°

Employing the trigonometric function,

Tan 62 $= 221/[1/2 base]$

⇒ Base $= (2$ × $221)$$/Tan$$62$

$= 2$ × 221/$1.88$

$= 235.10$

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
