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 211 m.
OPTIONS: A. 75 meters B. 189 meters C. 224 meters D. 478 meters

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of base is 224 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

H= 211 m, angle=62 degree

By using the trigo function

tan62=211/[1/2base]

base=2*211/tan62

base=2*112.9

base = 224
