A new building in the shape of a square pyramid is to be constructed. The slant height will be five times the side length of the

base. There will be between 20,000 square feet and 50,000 square feet of construction material used for the outside of the building. What would be the maximum possible side length of the base of the building? Round your answer to the nearest foot.
Please explain how to solve this problem, not just the answer.

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use above fourty eight.

49 * 245 = 12005.(slant area) 12005 * 4 = 48020.

(base area) 49 * 49 = 2401. 2401+48020 = 50421. (Over our limit?!?)

The area of the square pyramid building is the amount of space on it

The maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

<h3>How to determine the maximum side length?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Base = b

Slant height (l) = 5b

The lateral surface area is calculated using:

L = 2bl

So, we have:

L = 2 * b * 5b

Evaluate the product

L = 10b^2

The total surface area is calculated using:

T = L + b^2

So, we have:

T = 10b^2 + b^2

Evaluate the sum

T = 11b^2

The maximum surface area is 50,000 square feet

So, we have:

11b^2 = 50000

Divide both sides by 11

b^2 = 50000/11

Take the square root of both sides

b = 67.42

Hence, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

Find the area of the shaded region. Round the the nearest tenth.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

226.084 sq.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of circle = 18.6 cm

Area of sector = $\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ} }\pi r^2$

Area of sector = $\frac{123}{360} \times 3.14 \times (18.6)^2$

Area of sector = $371.157 m^2$

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times a \times b \times Sin x$

a = OA = radius = 18.6 cm

b = OB = radius = 18.6 cm

x =123 °

Substitute the values in the formula

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 18.6 \times 18.6 \times Sin 123$

Area of triangle = $145.073 m^2$

So, Area of shaded region = Area of sector - Area of triangle

= $371.157 m^2-145.073 m^2$

= $226.084 m^2$

Hence the area of the shaded region is 226.084 sq.m.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

$P(x\geq -1) = 0.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

x: −4 −3 −2 −1 0

P(X=x): 0.2 0.3 0.1 0.2 0.2

We have to evaluate

$P(x\geq -1)$

Since it is a discrete probability distribution as

$\displaystyle\sum P(X=x_i) = 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 1$

We can evaluate the probability as:

$P(x\geq -1) = P(x = -1 + P(x = 0)\\P(x\geq -1) = 0.2 + 0.2\\P(x\geq -1) = 0.4$

Thus, 0.4 is the require probability.

A grocery store is selling 12 bananas for $2.40 at this rate what is the cost of 15 bananas

lorasvet [3.4K]

C. $3.00
To find how many bananas you get for a dollar, do 12/2.4 to get 5 bananas per dollar. Since you want to find how much it costs for 15 bananas, you'll do 15/5, which gives you $3
