This net can be folded to make a square pyramid. what is the surface area of the pyramid

Mathematics

Answer:  

85in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the surface area we need to find the followng areas:  

  • area of the square  
  • area of a triangle and multiply it by 4 (because there are 4 triangles)

And once we have those areas, we add them to find the surface area.

Area of the square:

the formula to find the area of a square is:

a_{square}=l^2

where l is the length of the side: l=5in

thus the area of the square is:

a_{square}=(5in)^2

a_{square}=25in^2

Area of the triangles:

the are of 1 triangle is given by

a_{triangle} =\frac{b*h}{2}

where b is the base of the triangle: b=5in (the base of the triangle is the side of the square)

and h is the height of the triangle: h=6in

thus, the area of 1 triangle is:

a_{triangle} =\frac{(5in)*(6in)}{2}

a_{triangle} =\frac{30in^2}{2}

a_{triangle} =15in^2

the area of the 4 triangles is (we multiply by 4):

a_{4-triangles}=4(15in^2)

a_{4-triangles}=60in^2

finally we add the area of the square and the area of the 4 triangles to find the total surface area:

Surface=25in^2+60in^2

Surface=85in^2

Piravena must make a trip from A to B then from B to C, then from C to A. Each of these three parts of the trip is made entirely
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

a) Cost of flying from A to B = $425

b) Total distance travelled by Piravena during the complete trip = 7,500 km

c) To minimize cost and arrive at the final cost given, she must have travelled by bus from B to C and then travelled by taking an airplane from C to A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is presented in the attached image to this question.

Full Question

a) To begin her trip she flew from A to B. Determine the cost of flying from A to B.

b) Determine the distance she travels for her complete trip.

c) Piravena chose the least expensive way to travel between cities and her total cost was $1012.50. Given that she flew from A to B, determine her method of transportation from B to C and her method of transportation from C to A.

Solution

a) The distance from A to B is given as 3250 km.

To take an airplane, it costs her a $100 booking fee, plus $0.10 per kilometer.

So, to fly 3250 km, she will pay

100 + (0.10×3250) = $425

b) For her complete journey, she is to make a trip from A to B then from B to C, then from C to A.

Her complete distance travelled = AB + BC + CA

But it is given that the three cities form a right angled triangle as given in the question with AB serving as the hypotenuse side.

Pythagoras theorem gives that the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the respective squares of the other two sides

AB² = BC² + CA²

3250² = BC² + 3000²

BC² = 3250² - 3000² = 1,562,500

BC = √1,562,500 = 1,250 km

Total distance covered by Piravena during the entire trip = AB + BC + CA = 3250 + 1250 + 3000 = 7,500 km

c) Her total cost of travel = $1012.50

But she definitely flew from A to B at a cost of $425

This means she spent (1012.50 - 425) on the rest of the journey, that is, $587.5

Note that to travel by bus, it is $0.15 per kilometre and to travel by airplane is $100 + $0.10 per kilometre. Indicating that the airplane saves cost on long distance travels while the bus saves cost on short distance travels.

To confirm this, we calculate the two options (bus or airplane) for each route.

If she travels B to C by bus, cost = 0.15 × 1250 = $187.5

If she travels B to C by airplane, cost = 100 + (0.10×1250) = $225

Hence, the bus obviously minimizes cost here.

If she travels from C to A by bus, cost = 0.15 × 3000 = $450

If she travels from C to A by airplane, cost = 100 + (0.10×3000) = $400

Here, travelling by airplane minimizes the cost.

So, if we confirm now that she travelled from B to C by bus and then from C to A by airplane, total cost = 187.5 + 400 = $587.5

which is the remaining part of her total cost is she minimized expenses!

Hope this Helps!!!

Dovator [93]

Answer:

-55

Step-by-step explanation:

2nd term=> -1 + -2 × (2 - 1)

3rd term=> -1 + -2 × (3 - 1)

:

28th term=> -1 + -2 × (28 - 1)

                => -1 - 54 = -55

Which of the following scenarios MUST represent two independent events?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: C) P(blue) = 70%, P(green) = 30%, P(blue and green) = 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given probabilities P(A) AND P(B) are independent, the probability that both events to occur is given by:

P(A)∩P(B)

thus from the example, independent events will be:

P(blue)=70%, P(green)=30%, P(blue and green)=21%

Because:

P(blue)∩P(green)=0.7×0.3=0.21=21%
