What is the volume in cubic feet of a greenhouse that is 30 feet long 20 feet wide and 8 feet high?
Volume of greenhouse: 30*20*8 = 4800 cubic feet
The alternate angle of depression is the angle of elevation and so 51/tan(6.7) = 434 ft which will be the length of the ski run providing the given information forms a right angle triangle.
Were was the death of Aristotle?
After the death of Alexander the Great, Aristotle fled to the the Greek island of Euboea to escape anti-Macedonian sentiment. There he lived the last year of his life on his mother's family estate near the city of Chalcis and died of natural causes in 322BC

Was Archimedes crown pure gold?
Yes Archimedes crown was pure gold. how they know this is that they weighed the dentisity of the crown.
What is Leonhard Euler contribution in mathematics?
Among other mathematical activities, Euler introduced certain mathematical notation for use by mathematicians such as the symbols e and i, made contributions in differential equations, developed the foundations of mathematical analysis, showed that e was an irrational number, proved one aspect of Fermat's Last Theorem, disproved Fermat's conjecture about "Fermat primes" by factoring the fifth Fermat number, computed Reimann zeta functions, and made contributions to the three-body problem. He also made contributions to fields in physics, such as electricity and magnetism.
he was the best mathematician of all time!
lemon cakes are yummalicious!
What are ten items that represent Hippocrates?
Here is a couple......
A weight and apple (for diet and exersie)
Books (He wrote 300!)
Red cross (He was in the feild of medicen!)
Hoped this helped!! (:
What is the smallest tenths decimal number that rounds to 5 to the nearest whole number?
It is: 4.5 that rounds up to 5 as a whole number
Why is the hippocratic oath considered a medical advance?
The hippocratic oath is a medical advance because it forces doctors to pledge not to do harm to their patients.
How does a boat have buoyancy?
It's hard to describe. The easiest way to say it, is that the weight is offset. Archimedes' principle sates that any FLOATING object displaces its own weight of fluid.
What did Aristotle have to do with pi?
He was the first one to calculate the value of pi
* * * * *
Actually, Aristotle did not have much to do with pi. It was Archimedes who was the first to make a serious attempt to find the value of pi by calculating the perimeters of incribed and exscribed polygons with increasng number of sides.
I guess the Communiy got an ancient Greek philisopher whose name began with A. Well done!
He said "we are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act, but a habit."
an object is immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object...
i know alot
tee hee
What is the pattern for Fibonacci sequence?
Two consecutive numbers are added together to get the next one.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13...
What did Archimedes use magnets for?
Archimedes is purported to have used loadstones to remove nails from enemy ships thus sinking them.
What do we use the pi symbol to represent a number?
Because pi is an irrational number that has an infinite amount of digits
Archimedes's principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object immersed or floating in a fluid equals the weight of the fluid displaced.
