1. Problem Description

Problem 27 asks: In which quadrant does angle yy lie if tany\tan y is positive and siny\sin y is negative?
Problem 28 asks: A right pyramid has a rectangular base with dimensions 9 cm by 5 cm. If the volume of the pyramid is 105 cm3cm^3, what is the height of the pyramid?

2. Solution Steps

Problem 27:
We need to determine the quadrant in which tany>0\tan y > 0 and siny<0\sin y < 0.
* Quadrant I: siny>0\sin y > 0, cosy>0\cos y > 0, tany>0\tan y > 0
* Quadrant II: siny>0\sin y > 0, cosy<0\cos y < 0, tany<0\tan y < 0
* Quadrant III: siny<0\sin y < 0, cosy<0\cos y < 0, tany>0\tan y > 0
* Quadrant IV: siny<0\sin y < 0, cosy>0\cos y > 0, tany<0\tan y < 0
Therefore, yy must lie in Quadrant III.
Problem 28:
The volume of a pyramid is given by:
V=13BhV = \frac{1}{3}Bh
where VV is the volume, BB is the area of the base, and hh is the height.
In this case, the base is a rectangle with dimensions 9 cm by 5 cm. Thus, the area of the base is:
B=9×5=45B = 9 \times 5 = 45 cm2cm^2
We are given that the volume is 105 cm3cm^3. We can now solve for the height hh:
105=13(45)h105 = \frac{1}{3}(45)h
105=15h105 = 15h
h=10515=7h = \frac{105}{15} = 7 cm

3. Final Answer

Problem 27: C. Third only
Problem 28: D. 7 cm
