Suppose you are told that the average height of a stone block is 1.39 m rather than 1.4 m. Would that increase or decrease your estimate of the total number of blocks in the pyramid? Explain.

Increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the total number of blocks in a pyramid is found by dividing the height of pyramid by the height of each block, then the block height of 1.39 m requires more pieces compared to 1.4 m

Illustration

If the height of pyramid was 139 m, the number if blocks each measuring 1.39 m will be 139/1.39=100+1 blocks while if blocks are 1.4m then number will be 139/1.4=99+1 blocks

Therefore, the height of 1.39m will increase the number of blocks

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
