Question

The original height of the Great Pyramid of Giza was 481 feet. The side of the pyramid rose at an angle of approximately 52°
. 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?(1 point)

Answer 1

Let x be the slant length. Using sine: sin(52°) = opposite/hypotenuse = 481/x.
So x = 481 / sin(52°) ≈ 481 / 0.78801 ≈ 611 feet.
