the orginal height of the great pryamid of Giza was 481 feet. The side of the pryamid rose at an angle of approximately 52 degree. which of the following correctly uses the sine ratio to find the length from the bottom to the top of the pyramid to the nearest foot
To find the length from the bottom to the top of the pyramid, we can use the sine ratio.
The sine ratio states that the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle is equal to the sine of the angle opposite the side.
In this case, the height of the pyramid is the opposite side, and the original height of the Great Pyramid of Giza is the hypotenuse.
We can set up the equation as follows:
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(52°) = height/481 feet
To find the length from the bottom to the top of the pyramid (height), we rearrange the equation:
height = sin(52°) * 481 feet
Using a calculator, we can find the value of sin(52°) ≈ 0.7880.
height ≈ 0.7880 * 481 feet
height ≈ 379.488 feet
Therefore, the length from the bottom to the top of the pyramid is approximately 379 feet when rounded to the nearest foot.
