Tan40 = h/L = h/24
h = 24*Tan40 = 20.14 cm
V = L*W*h = 24 * 7 * 20.14 = 3383 cm^3.
Please help. I'm sure I use tan but not able to figure this out.
A rectangular prism has base dimensions of 24cm by 7 cm. a metal rod is run from the bottom corner diagonally to the top corner of the prism. If the rod forms an angle if 40 degrees with the bottom of the box, calculate the volume of the box.
Thank you for your time and help
