Can you simplify the area of a parallelogram?
It is base*vertical distance between top and bottom (the perpendicular height).
What is the distance from 1st base to 3rd base across the baseball diamond?
The distance across the diamond is 114.6 feet.
When you see a picture of a right pyramid with a regular polygon base how do you identify its height and its slant height?
Its vertical height is that of the perpendicular from the centre of the base to the apex; the slant height is the length of the sloping "corner" between two faces. The height of a regular pyramid is the vertical distance from the center of base to the top and is usually shown with a line perpendicular to the base, denoted with a right angle to the base. The slant height it the height of the lateral face (the triangles) from the edge of the base to the top of the pyramid. It is the height of the triangle, not the pyramid itself. The slant height will also be the hypotenuse of a right angle formed from the altitude of the pyramid and the distance from the center of the base to the edge.
What is the opposite side of a parallelogram base from its shortest distance?
It is the perpendicular distance.
How do you determine the height of a mast?
You can determine the height of a mast by using the tangent. Measure the distance from the base, and the angle of elevation of the top of the mast as observed from that distance. The tangent is y over x, so substitute x for the distance from the base and y for the height of the mast. Solve from there. For instance, if the angle is 60 degrees and the x distance is 25 feet, then... tan (60) = y / 25 25 tan (60) = y y = 43.3
