The original height of the Great Pyramid of Giza was 481 feet.
The side of the pyramid rose at an angle of approximately 52°.
Use the sine ratio to find the length from the bottom to the tip of the pyramid along the slanted side to the nearest foot. Pick one answer below.
1.)610
2.)296
3.)781
4.)379
To find the length from the bottom to the tip of the pyramid along the slanted side, we can use the sine ratio.
The sine ratio is given by:
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
In this case, the angle is 52°, and the opposite side is the height of the pyramid (481 feet). We need to find the hypotenuse, which is the length from the bottom to the tip of the pyramid along the slanted side.
Rearranging the sine ratio equation, we get:
hypotenuse = opposite / sin(angle)
hypotenuse = 481 / sin(52°)
Using a calculator, we find that sin(52°) ≈ 0.7880108.
Therefore, the length from the bottom to the tip of the pyramid along the slanted side ≈ 481 / 0.7880108 ≈ 610 feet.
So, the answer is 1.) 610 feet.
