Was the difference between height and slant height?
Lean a ladder against a wall. Not too steep . . . Give it a nice angle, for safe climbing. The height is the distance between the ground and the place where it hits the wall. The slant height is the length of the ladder.
Can you work out the area of any triangle using bxh divided by 2?
Yes, that works for any triangle. The height always has to be at a right angle to the base. If there is an angle over 90 degrees, you may have to extend the base.Yes, that works for any triangle.

What describes the angle between level ground and the edge of a pyramid?
An Obtuse Angle (Apex)
A 30 foot ladder leaning against the side of a house makes a 70 degrees 5' angle with the ground how far up the side of the house does the ladder reach?
Round the base angle to 70 degrees and use the sine ratio: 30*sine 70 degrees = 28.19077862 feet Height of ladder from the ground = 28 feet to 2 s.f.
In an a-frame house the two congruent sides extend from the ground to form a 34 angle at the peak what angle does each side form with the ground?
73o (180 - 34)/2
What is the height of a building if the angle of elevation to the top from a point on the ground is 31.4 degrees and from 53 feet further back it is 26.4 degrees?
It can be shown that:height = (d tan α tan β)/(tan α - tan β)where: α is the angle closest to the objectβ is the angle further away from the objectd is the distance from the point of angle α to the point of angle βThus: height = (53 ft × tan 31.4° × tan 26.4°)/(tan 31.4° - tan 26.4°) ≈ 140.87 ft
How can the height of a tree be calculated?
It can easily be measured by using a protractor and measuring the angle between the ground and the top of the tree. You need to know exactly how far you are from the tree. Then you can use trigonometry to calculate the height of the tree. Tan (angle in degrees) = height of tree / distance from tree
Kite is 36 ft above the ground if the string of the kite makes a 58 degree angle with the ground what is the leg?
The leg opposite the 58 degree angle is the height of the kite above the ground. So, the leg is 36 ft.
Was the difference between height and slant height?
Lean a ladder against a wall. Not too steep . . . Give it a nice angle, for safe climbing. The height is the distance between the ground and the place where it hits the wall. The slant height is the length of the ladder.
A building is 60ft high From a distance at A on the ground the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 40 From a lil nearer at B the angle of elevation is 70 Find the distance from A to B?
Using the formula: tangent = opposite/adjacent whereas tangent angle = height/ground distance, will help to solve the problem
Is the length of your shadow the same as your height?
No. Only if the ground is level and the light source is very far away and at a 45 degree angle.
A suspension bridge is supported from a height of 30 feet. The length of the wire used to suspend the bridge from the ground to the top is 65 feet. What is the angle of elevation from the base of the?
A suspension bridge is supported from a height of 30 feet. The length of the wire used to suspend the bridge, from the ground to the top, is 65 feet. What is the angle of elevation from the base of the bridge to the point of suspension?
Which angle measure the closest to a 60 degree?
Acute angle
What angle is closest to a 110 digrease angle?
None. But a 110 degrees angle might be close!
What is the height of a flag pole that cast a shadow of 7.42 m at an angle of elevation 48.4 degrees on level ground?
Using tangent ratio for a right angle triangle: tan(48.4)*7.42 = 8.357 m which is the height of the flag pole rounded to 3 decimal places
How do you calculate the height of right triangle given the base and adjacent angle?
Height will be h=base*tan(angle).
What is the approximate height of a building when the angle of elevation at the top of a building is 34 degrees and at a point 80 feet closer the angle of elevation is 45 degrees?
It can be shown that:height = (d tan α tan β)/(tan α - tan β)where: α is the angle closest to the objectβ is the angle further away from the objectd is the distance from the point of angle α to the point of angle βThus: height = (80 ft × tan 45° × tan 34°)/(tan 45° - tan 34°) ≈ 165.78 ft
