Answer 2

Okay if I recall correctly, you will need to find the height of the pyramid using the Pythagorean theorem. So... in order to do this, you need to half the base value, which is 82.
You should be able to instantly figure out that 41 is half of 82, so... use the theorem:
41^2 + x^2 = 52^2
Doing this, you should come to your answer.
I hope this helps, if you have any questions, ask! ;)

@Ghostgate

We are supposed to use cosine, tangent, or sin for this : )

I'm on my phone so I can't directly screenshot and paste link, but I pulled it up on a site to get the trig formulas for tangent, cosine, and sin.

So, you can try to figure that out while I'm gone haha.

Answer 12

You can work out this question by using the following diagram:

So you can simply use the tangent rule to solve your problem and find the height :)
