Find the length of the base of the following pyramid, given the height of the pyramid is 71 meters and the angle of elevation of the base of the pyramid is 42°. round to the nearest whole number.

A pyramid's face may be viewed as two right triangles joined back to back. Therefore, we can use
tan(∅) = height/base
To calculate the base of one of the triangles and then multiply it by 2 to get the base length of the pyramid.
tan(42°) = 71/base
base = 79 meters
Base of pyramid = 2 x 79
= 158 meters

Geometric pattern of 2 i’m guessing. not really sure about what you’re asking but i hope this !

It’s 5 points actually
